Here s some welcome good news. The country s #4 running back and the state of Michigan s #2 prospect, West Bloomfield s Donovan Edwards, announced he s staying home in a ceremony at his school. Edwards chose Michigan over Alabama, Georgia, Notre Dame, and Penn State, along with a who s-who list of offers from national powers.
Edwards is both an extremely talented player and a huge recruiting win for a program that s had trouble landing top in-state players. He s both an early signee and an early enrollee, so we ll see him on campus soon.
