Deion Sanders Cheers for Two-Sports Athlete Dylan Edwards’ First Track Meet with the Colorado Buffaloes

Dylan Edwards is not your average college athlete. The Colorado Buffaloes RB had a stellar freshman season in 2023, becoming the first player in school history to record more than 250 yards rushing and receiving in the same year. But that’s not all, he was a two-sport standout in high school, excelling in both football and track. 

The former Kansas Gatorade Player of the Year was the winner of the Under Armor All-America Game fastest man competition in 2022, clocking a 40-yard dash time of 4.41 seconds. He excelled over some of the top athletes in the nation including Nyckoles Harbor. And now he’s here to make his HC Deion Sanders proud with his recent track venture.
