3. Brian Edwards, CB/S (Hollywood, FL)

Brian Edwards is another prospect the Miami Hurricanes hopes to close out on with National Signing Day right around the corner. Edwards is rated as the 57th-best cornerback available, 77th-best availabe in the state and 566th overall prospect, according to 247 Sports.

Miami is one of four teams in Edwards’ top choices. The other three are Louisville, Colorado and Florida. He took official visits to all four schools as well. He visited Colorado on December 9. Then in January, he took visits to Louisville on 14th, Miami on the 20th and Florida on the 27th.

Louisville visited Edwards hometown of Hollywood, Florida on January 23. The Hurricanes visited his hometown on January 25, showing that teams are still making their final push for his commitment.

The Hurricanes do have one commitment currently from athlete DeeJay Dallas, a four-star prospect, who is projected to play at safety. But at 6-foot-3 and 195 pounds, Edwards could very well move to safety as well when he arrives at Miami. It is a position he is familiar with from high school.

Edward’s named Louisville as the leader in his recruitment on January 19. He will make his choice on National Signing Day. Let’s see if the Hurricanes can get his pledge.
