Spring practices are underway across Kansas, but one new member of the Kansas Jayhawks is already drawing attention. Former Kansas State Wildcats running back Dylan Edwards has been candid in his early media appearances since switching programs.
Since transferring from Kansas State to Kansas, Edwards hasn’t held back in hinting at a more positive experience in his new environment. While he didn’t directly criticize his former team, his comments suggest a clear contrast.
Reflecting on his transition, Edwards emphasized how his role with Kansas has been more flexible and supportive. He noted that the coaching staff particularly running backs coach Andy Kotelnicki has allowed him to expand his game rather than limiting him to a specific role. According to Edwards, the change has been refreshing.
Speculation about his move began in January when he was seen visiting Allen Fieldhouse before a game. Shortly after, he officially committed to play under head coach Lance Leipold.
During his time at Kansas State, Edwards had a limited role, starting just four games last season. His standout performance came against the UCF Knights, where he rushed for 166 yards on 20 carries. His final appearance came in a narrow loss to the Baylor Bears before he entered the transfer portal in November.
As it stands, Edwards is the only transfer on Kansas’ roster who started for Kansas State last season. If he takes the field in this year’s rivalry matchup, he could become the first player in the transfer portal era to start for both sides in the Sunflower Showdown.
