The Cincinnati Bearcats secondary has been blessed during the last four years. It has been, coincidentally, blessed by No. 4 during those four years, as Zach Edwards has been one of the best safeties in the American Athletic Conference and in program history.
Edwards’ greatest strength was his ability to take down opposing ball carriers. His 381 total tackles rank fourth all-time at UC behind Karl Woods (502), Phillip Curry (487) and Brad Jackson (392). He recorded at least 90 tackles in each of the last three seasons and never had fewer than the 73 he posted as a true freshman.
