Frankie Edwards III brings playmaking juice and steady tackling to New Mexico’s secondary
Edwards is a **rangy, active corner** with verified ball skills and run support: in the 2025 season he played in all 12 games for New Mexico, made **47 tackles**, started four games, and was credited with a career-high **12 tackles** against UNLV, while his 2024 freshman season at Weber State included a **95-yard pick-six** and four pass breakups. His appeal is the blend of speed, toughness, and willingness to tackle, backed by EA’s strong athletic marks (notably speed, acceleration, agility, and stamina), though his lighter frame and a late-season injury that kept him out of the Rate Bowl are important context for fit.[2][4][6]
