Walk-On DB with NFL Drive, 1 INT & 4 PD in 2025
Alonzo Edwards Jr., a Sam Houston Bearkats defensive back, stands out as a resilient walk-on who transformed his journey from Mississippi Gulf Coast CC to an NFL prospect, showcasing elite intensity and a 'never-out' mentality. In the 2025 season, he recorded 29 solo tackles, 1 interception, 4 pass breakups, and 1 forced fumble, proving his reliability in coverage and ball disruption. His differentiator is his academic discipline (CSC Academic All-District in 2023) paired with relentless on-field aggression. With a clear path from walk-on to draft consideration, Edwards is a high-fit addition for teams seeking a DB with proven grit, leadership, and upside.
