Leads offense in opener Edwards completed 20 of 27 passes for 311 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 50-7 win versus Connecticut. He also had five rushes for 39 yards.

Impact Edwards took the field aiming to replace longtime starter Taulia Tagovailoa and performed admirably in his role, leading the offense to a dominant win over UConn. The redshirt junior connected with Tai Felton on an 18-yard touchdown pass to get the Terrapins on the scoreboard in the first quarter and found Felton once again on a 75-yard catch-and-run at the end of the third quarter to extend the team's lead. Edwards will hope to keep the positive momentum going when the Terrapins host Michigan State on Saturday.

Expected to start against UConn Edwards is expected to be Maryland's starting quarterback Saturday against UConn, Matt Zenitz of 247Sports reports.

Impact Edwards and MJ Morris were competing to be Maryland's starting quarterback Saturday, with the former winning out. The last time Edwards was QB1 was UMD's bowl game, during which he logged mixed results. But to remain the Terrapins' starting quarterback, Edwards must step up a notch, as their QB race may be far from over after Saturday.

Scores three rushing TDs in loss Edwards rushed four times for three yards and three touchdowns, and he did not attempt a pass during Saturday's 31-24 loss against Michigan.

Impact Edwards scored all three of the Terrapins' touchdowns, as the team employed him as a go-to scorer in its specialized goal-line package. The 6-foot-4 redshirt sophomore hasn't seen any truly significant playing time as a passer while sitting behind longtime signal-caller Taulia Tagovailoa this season. But, Edwards' value as a rushing quarterback proved extremely valuable, scoring three quarterback sneaks -- two on either side of halftime followed by another touchdown just before the end of the third quarter, pulling the game to 29-24. Edwards has now scored four touchdowns on just 11 carries this season, so it's unlikely he'll see anything close to Saturday's production during next week's regular-season finale against Rutgers.

One passing attempt in bowl game Edwards completed his lone pass for 45 yards during Friday's 16-12 victory over North Carolina State.

Impact Edwards was on the field to start the game as the Terrapins employed a rotational approach at quarterback to open the game. The redshirt freshman did complete a pass short over the middle of the field that wide receiver Jeshaun Jones ran with for a 45-yard gain. However, he wound up logging just one carry after Maryland's first offensive series. Instead, second-year starter Taulia Tagovailoa went 19-for-37 passing for 221 yards and a 2:1 TD:INT ratio to go along with nine carries for three yards. Edwards finished the 2022 campaign with 27 completions on 45 passing attempts for 263 yards and three touchdowns as well as 31 carries for 144 yards and another score over six games, including one start Week 8 in place of an injured Tagovailoa. With the redshirt junior signal-caller expected to return to Maryland for the 2023 season, it's likely Edwards will once again begin next season as the team's No. 2 quarterback.

Expected to get some snaps Edwards is expected to receive some playing time for Maryland's Friday matchup against NC State, Varun Shankar of The Diamondback reports.

Impact After dealing with an ankle injury for the last month, Edwards is finally ready for action once again where he'll look to make an impact on the offensive side of the ball for the Terrapins. Over five games, the freshman has thrown for 263 yards and three touchdowns.
