Graduate transfer running back Gus Edwards has reportedly been blocked by Miami from transferring to any opponent on the Hurricanes’ 2017 schedule, Scout’s Michael McAllister reports.
That list of blocked schools includes Syracuse, as both SU and Miami are members of the ACC and will play each other this upcoming season.
The Orange were initially considered one of the early favorites to land Edwards. The former three-star Class of 2013 running back was originally committed to Syracuse back in high school, before flipping his commitment and signing with Miami.
Edwards, a Staten Island (Tottenville High School) native, reportedly enjoyed his time at Miami, but wants to transfer to a school in the northeast to be closer to his girlfriend and newborn son.
