The Texas Longhorns’ first big test of the 2024 season will come at the hands of the Michigan Wolverines, traveling over 1,100 miles to The Big House in Ann Arbor to face the defending national champs.

Texas is sure to bring its A-game on offense with the brain of head coach Steve Sarkisian, the arm of Quinn Ewers and the speed of the skill players on the field, but Michigan isn’t as known for its offensive excellence.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’re aware of the hype surrounding the new EA CFB 25 video game releasing in July. For Texas fans, excitement is at an all-time high with one of three athletes being their prized QB Quinn Ewers. Who else is on the cover? Colorado’s Travis Hunter, a dynamic two-way player, and Michigan’s Donovan Edwards, one of the most athletic and energizing runners in the nation.

Edwards has lived under the shadow for the duration of his career, but with his main competition gone, the backfield is ready for an explosion from a Michigan native. Edwards had an up-and-down 2023 season, decreasing in many efficiency and volume stats at the hand of Corum’s surprising return after the 2022 season.

But Edwards’ ceiling knows no bounds. In just 11 games in 2022, Edwards ran for 991 yards and seven touchdowns, adding another 200 yards in the air. In 2022’s thrashing of rival Ohio State in Columbus, Edwards ran for 216 yards and two touchdowns.

Edwards is a big game player, averaging 169 yards per game against ranked opponents in 2022. Though he was quieter in games against Alabama and Ohio State in 2023, Edwards’ 104 yards and two touchdowns in the national championship game more than made up for it. Texas will have to keep Edwards’ explosiveness in check before he can run away with the game.
