The skinny: Edwards initially committed to Western Michigan in June, but a December offer from Wisconsin ended up being too good to pass up. Soon after receiving the offer from the Badgers, the Illinois linebacker flipped to Wisconsin. Through his first two seasons, Edwards has quickly become one of the more productive linebackers in the Big Ten. He finished up his second season with 10 tackles and one interception, against the same Broncos program he was initially committed to.

Honorable mention: Oklahoma's Caleb Kelly, Indiana's Tegray Scales, Minnesota's Blake Cashman, BYU's Harvey Langi, Virginia Tech's Anthony Shegog, Alabama's Rashaan Evans, Clemson's Ben Boulware

Farrell’s take: Some big names on this list and some lightly recruited. Thomas was a five-star and top 15 national prospect while Galambos and Edwards were three-stars with limited offers. On the honorable mention list, it is a mixed bag from five-stars like Kelly and Evans to many three-stars and guys like Cashman, who weren’t even recruited at the D-1 level at all and had to walk on at Minnesota.
