What Are The Expectations For Kansas State's Dylan Edwards Next Season?

Kansas State has big plans for running back Dylan Edwards next season in preparing him to replace record-holder DJ Giddens.

"That kid is good in the weight room, he pushes weight and moves it fast," Klieman said. "Everybody knows how fast the kid is. People don’t realize how strong his lower body is or how strong his upper body is. He wants to be an every-down guy and needs to be an every-down guy."

Edwards had 576 rushing yards and five touchdowns last season, along with 19 receptions for 133 yards and two touchdowns. As Edwards prepares to be the primary running back, he's talking to his teammates to ensure they all support him.

"I'm just talking to the guys more, just being an open book more to each and every one of my teammates," Edwards said. "Just trying to be myself. As long as I come up here and have a smile on my face, it brings the energy to the team."
