Big-Play Tar Heel Back Who Can Flip a Game
Barrington Edwards is a North Carolina running back best remembered for his burst and game-changing power; in the 2005 season, he delivered a career-high 129 rushing yards and a touchdown against NC State, plus a 62-yard run that showed real home-run speed.[1][2] He also added value as a receiver, catching key passes that kept drives alive, which makes him more than just a between-the-tackles bruiser.[1] If you want a back with toughness, explosiveness, and a knack for rising to big moments, he’s the kind of player you’d want in the room.[1][2]
