What the Former Colorado Standout Brings to the Wildcats

Dylan Edwards, a running back transfer from Colorado, declared his commitment to Kansas State on Sunday.

Edwards, who was the Buffaloes’ top rusher as a true freshman in 2023, made the decision to enroll in a Wildcats program he had already committed to when in high school in order to be closer to his family. The native of Derby, Kansas, committed on April 24 after making an official visit to K-State through the transfer site.

In his lone season with the Buffaloes, Edwardsโ€”a former four-star prospect who switched from K-State to Notre Dame before enrolling with Coloradoโ€”rushed for a team-high 321 yards and generated 744 all-purpose yards. In his debut game, an unexpected 45-42 victory over TCU, he scored four touchdowns and 177 yards. In February, Edwards represented the Buffaloes in two track meets.

DJ Giddens, who finished fourth in the Big 12 in yards from scrimmage with 1,226 running yards, 323 receiving yards, and 13 total touchdowns last season and was named honorable mention all-conference, now joins the Kansas State rushing attack. During his rookie season, Avery Johnson, the starting quarterback, also ran for 296 yards and seven touchdowns.
