Kentucky Safety/Nickel Mike Edwards announced that he will bypass an early entry to the NFL and return to the Wildcats for his senior season. Edwards has been a picture of consistency in a secondary that experienced highs and lows in 2017. This decision was somewhat of a surprise as many expected the All-SEC defender to enter the 2018 NFL Draft.
Mike Edwards is nearing “all-timer” status. There are 18 Kentucky defensive players that are members of the esteemed 300-Tackle Club. With 236 through three seasons, the hard hitting defensive back is 64 tackles shy of the coveted 300-mark.
