National Signing Day 2022 is off with a bang as Herm Edwards landed former Samford safety and FCS All-American Chris Edmonds, per his Twitter page.
Edmonds dominated in the secondary for the Bulldogs during their spring 2021 season, racking up multiple All-American nods at the FCS level. He was also a finalist for the Buck Buchanan Award given to the top defensive player in the FCS. In just seven games, he recorded four interceptions, which was the best in the Southern Conference, and fourth-best in the country. He also forced two fumbles.
In the fall 2022 season, Edmonds lived up to the hype.
