Michigan RB Donovan Edwards Makes Announcement After Ohio State Upset Win A big decision for Donovan Edwards.

DECEMBER 5 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Departs to locker room Edwards departed to the locker room with his jersey off just before halftime Saturday against Ohio State, Brock Heilig of Rivals reports.

Impact Edwards appeared to hurt his leg on a third down run with about two and a half minutes left in the second quarter. He was down on the sideline for a while before eventually walking back to the locker room with under a minute to go before halftime. No word on the exact injury has been revealed yet, but look for Kalel Mullings to be busy in the second half if Edwards is unable to return.

Scores in blowout win Edwards totaled 10 carries for 65 yards and one touchdown and hauled in 4 of 5 targets for 17 yards during Saturday's 50-6 victory versus Northwestern.

Impact Edwards found the end zone on a 20-yard scamper in the fourth quarter, extending the Michigan lead. The senior running back has had a tough time this season after coming in with high expectations, running for 578 yards and four touchdowns on the ground across 11 games while catching 16 passes for 81 yards and a score through the air as well. Despite the struggles, Edwards and the Wolverines will have plenty of motivation to play spoiler against hated rival Ohio State on Saturday.

NOVEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Moderate showing in loss Edwards had 10 carries for 52 yards and caught 1 of 2 targets for one yard during Saturday's 38-17 loss against Oregon.

Impact Edwards was the more efficient runner in the Michigan backfield against the Ducks as fellow running back Kalel Mullings managed just 16 yards on eight attempts on the day. Edwards also surpassed Mullings in rushing attempts for the first time since Week 3, though a one-game sample size doesn't necessarily indicate a shift in the pecking order. Still, the workload distribution will be worth monitoring moving forward, starting in a road battle against unbeaten Indiana this coming Saturday.

NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Season-low yards in rivalry win Edwards compiled nine rushes for 24 yards and gathered in all two targets for 17 yards during Saturday's 24-17 win over Michigan State.

Impact Edwards struggled to find running room throughout the day against the Spartans, totaling a season-low 24 yards on nine attempts on the ground while adding two catches for 17 yards through the air. The Michigan backfield as a whole had trouble getting things going, as Edwards and fellow running back Kalel Mullings combined for just 42 yards on 22 rushing attempts against their in-state rival. Edwards has struggled to create separation throughout the year, running for 415 yards and three touchdowns through the team's first eight games this season. His next opportunity to bounce back will come when the Wolverines host the top-ranked Oregon Ducks this coming Saturday.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet day in loss Edwards accrued seven carries for 38 yards and caught 0 of 1 targets for zero yards during Saturday's 21-7 loss versus Illinois.

Impact Edwards served a primarily complimentary role to fellow running back Kalel Mullings on the day, garnering just seven touches against the Fighting Illini. The senior running back has struggled with consistency this season, as he has surpassed 70 yards on three occasions this year but has been held under 40 yards just as many times. With the emergence of Mullings as the definitive lead back in the Michigan offense, Edwards' future is unclear in terms of his opportunities for production. His next chance to earn a larger role within the offense will come in a rivalry matchup against in-state foe Michigan State this Saturday.

OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Season-best performance in loss Edwards had 14 rushes for 95 yards and one touchdown and hauled in all two targets for 23 yards during Saturday's 27-17 defeat versus Washington.

Impact Edwards found the end zone on a 39-yard run in the second quarter, making it a 14-7 game in favor of Washington. The senior running back led the team in rushing yards while tying the team lead in attempts on the day, running for a season-high 95 yards against the Huskies. Edwards has had trouble getting things going in 2024, as he has topped 50 yards on the ground in just three of the team's first six games, and with fellow running back Kalel Mullings producing more efficient results on more volume to start the season, he will likely continue to split touches moving forward. Edwards' next opportunity will come when the Wovlerines travel to face Illinois following Saturday's bye.

Scores in victory Edwards logged 14 carries for 74 yards and one touchdown and reeled in their only target for nine yards during Saturday's 27-24 win versus USC.

Impact Most of Edwards' production on the day came on a 41-yard scamper in the second quarter, giving the Wolverines a 14-0 lead. The senior running back has been inconsistent to start the 2024 season, recording a number of the trademark explosive plays that have highlighted his career in Ann Arbor, while also struggling to gain consistent yardage on a game-by-game basis. With fellow running back Kalel Mullings continuing to show his potential, Edwards may be thrust into more of a backup role than previously anticipated this season. A home matchup against Minnesota awaits on Saturday.

SEPTEMBER 21 • SACBEE.COM

Productive day in win Edwards logged 17 rushes for 82 yards and one touchdown and reeled in their only target for 11 yards during Saturday's 28-18 win over Arkansas State.

Impact Edwards found the end zone on a seven-yard run in the second quarter, giving the Wolverines a 14-3 lead. The Don has had a disappointing start to the 2024 season, totaling just 150 rushing yards and a single score through the team's first three games on 4.2 YPC. Fellow running back Kalel Mullings far outpaced Edwards on the day, logging over 150 yards and a pair of touchdowns on the ground despite less touches. Mullings will likely continue to get opportunities in the ground game moving forward, though Edwards' big-play ability will likely continue to earn him touches throughout the season. A big-time matchup against USC to open up conference play awaits on Saturday.
