Dylan Edwards childhood
Dylan Edwards was a star for his childhood team when he was just 10 years old. Not only was he one of the best players on his team but his Quarterback was Avery Johnson, Kansas State's current quarterback. So Edwards has been taking handoffs from his current QB for as long as he can remember.

He was originally committed to Notre Dame but decided to de-commit and sign with Colorado to play under their new Head Coach Deion Sanders.

Dylan thrived in his first-ever game in College Football. Against TCU, Edwards rushed for 24 yards and caught 5 balls for 135 yards with 4 touchdowns. But after this thrilling performance, Edward's production declined, and he only had 1 more touchdown and 200 more yards by the end of the year. So, he decided to go back home and play for Kansas State.

Media Reaction
The media stated how the Buffs just came up short against ranked Kansas State almost completing the upset. Many believe that the reason the buffs lost in the end was because of losing Travis Hunter late in the 2nd quarter due to a hand injury. He was sidelined for the rest of the game which was a huge blow to the offense and defense since Hunter starts on both sides of the ball. The media thinks the Buffs have to be perfect to make the playoffs or even a bowl game if it is still in the cards.
Coach Prime reaction
Coach Prime was not happy with the outcome of the game. He stated that this game was a wake-up call for the team and that if they want the opportunity to play at the end of the season they have to step it up now.
