Michigan football's Donovan Edwards apologizes, explains anti-semitic social media post

Michigan football running back Donovan Edwards publicly apologized on Friday for his October 2022 retweet of a Kanye West video which espoused antisemitic rhetoric.

Edwards, who was named to the preseason Doak Walker Award watchlist on Wednesday, spoke with the media shortly after U-M's eighth practice of fall camp. Among the topics thrown Edwards' way were his relationship with teammate Blake Corum, expectations for the season and his own lofty comparisons to NFL running backs. Standard stuff.
