The Phillips Academy Andover Lacrosse twitter handle congratulated PG WR/DB Kenneth Edwards, Jr. on his "commitment to the admissions process" as a Statesmen lacrosse and football recruit. Originally from the Rochester area, having played at and attended East HS prior to taking a PG year at PA to bolster his college admissions process.
It seems like the decision paid off, with offers from Williams College (MA in the NESCAC), looks from Cornell University and a 2nd team All New England Prep recognition this past fall.
An able route runner with good hands and elusive moves, Edwards, Jr. looks like a player that can plug into HC Kevin DeWall's long-ball side of the Statesmen's offensive game plan. You can check out Kenneth's highlight reel here.
While it's unclear how things will work with lacrosse in the mix, Kenneth appears to be a strong enough student athlete to juggle both. We haven't seen this since Sean Cunningham '17 excelled on the football and lacrosse field, but it's certainly doable.
Please join me in welcoming Kenneth and the extended Edwards family to the Hobart College Football one!
More recruiting news will be posted as it comes in.
Thanks as always for reading and go 'Bart!
Hobart has an exceptionally strong tradition of dual-sport (lax/football) athletes. Definitely doable, no matter what era you're talking about.
ReplyDeleteFound out that Edwards got into Dartmouth and will be attending college there. Wishing him the best.
