Edwards, a four-year letterwinner at Kentucky, was a member of two national championship teams and a participant in three Final Fours. He helped the Wildcats to a 132-16 overall record during his tenure, including three SEC regular season titles and three SEC Tournament crowns. During his senior season with Kentucky in 1997-98, Edwards helped spur the Wildcats to the national title, averaging 9.2 points, 3.3 assists and 3.3 rebounds per game.

Following his collegiate playing career, Edwards went on to compete professionally in the CBA and IBL before returning to Kentucky to complete his degree in sociology in December 2002. Prior to his playing days at Kentucky, Edwards was a prep star, earning Florida’s Mr. Basketball award during his final season at Miami Senior High School. It was also during his high school days that Edwards crossed paths with VCU Head Coach Anthony Grant for the first time. Grant was an assistant coach at Miami Senior from 1987-92. | |||||||
