B.J. Edwards is SMU’s do-it-all guard with steals, playmaking, and veteran juice
In the 2025-26 season, B.J. Edwards emerged as a high-impact two-way guard for SMU, averaging 14.2 points, 5.9 rebounds, 5.4 assists, and 2.6 steals while shooting 48.6% overall and leading the ACC in steals per game[3]. He also earned ACC Player of the Week honors three times, which tells you he’s not just filling a box score—he swings games with energy, pressure defense, and point-guard feel[3][11]. Edwards missed time late in the season with an ankle injury, but SMU expected him back for the NCAA Tournament, so the main question is health, not skill[5][14]. If your team wants a tough, versatile, experienced guard who stuffs the stat sheet and brings edge, he’s a very strong fit[1][3].
