4. DAVID EDWARDS, WISCONSIN

Recruiting: Rated as a three-star athlete who was 6-foot-6 and 225 pounds in high school, Edwards committed to Wisconsin in the summer before his senior season. Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Iowa State, Syracuse and Vanderbilt had also offered but Edwards stuck with Wisconsin through the coaching change from Gary Andersen to Paul Chryst.

Stats: The Badgers averaged 223 rushing yards per game, five yards per touch and Jonathan Taylor
emerged as one of the best running backs in the country after rushing for 1,977 yards and 13 touchdowns in his freshman season.

Farrell’s take: Talk about a tough evaluation, Edwards has gone from athlete (quarterback) to offensive lineman, so I’m happy with our mid three-star rating out of high school. He could have projected to a few positions and was a good athlete who we thought would end up as a tight end. He also played defensive end, but had a huge frame so he could have ended up as a defensive tackle down the line as well. He is the perfect example of an offensive lineman with the feet of a tight end.
