Georgia Southern’s under-the-radar power back with proven local production
Robert Edwards III is a 5-11, 200-pound Georgia Southern running back who arrived with a big-production high school résumé, including 1,388 rushing yards and 19 total touchdowns as a senior, plus school-record rushing marks at Columbus High[8]. In college, his statistical footprint has been limited so far, with only two games listed in 2024 and no recorded rushing numbers in the available season summaries[3][6][10]. That makes him more of a projection bet than a proven stat-stuffer right now, but his recruiting profile and build suggest a downhill, physical runner who could fit a team looking for toughness, depth, and upside rather than instant volume[2][15].
