Rutgers edge Canaan Edwards is a long, developing DL prospect with upside
In the 2025 season, Canaan Edwards appeared in one game for Rutgers and made his collegiate debut against Norfolk State, so the stat sheet is still light—but the frame jumps out: 6-3, 235 and built like a future rotational edge/DL piece. Recruiting outlets pegged him as a three-star-level upside defender with good length, while Rutgers’ roster notes highlight his defensive-line background and Class 5A honorable-mention defense in high school. The big question isn’t talent; it’s development, role clarity, and whether he fits a team looking for a raw but intriguing pass-rush project.
