T. J. Edwards is an American football linebacker for the National Football League’s Philadelphia Eagles (NFL). Edwards attended Wisconsin for his college football career. Edwards attended Lakes Community High School in Lake Villa, Illinois. During his senior year, Edwards also played three games at Safety. Edwards had 20 tackles, two TFLs, two sacks, and an interception in three games on defense.
Despite having played quarterback in high school, he was recruited as a defensive player for college football. Originally, Edwards was committed to Western Michigan. However, after being recruited by Wisconsin’s defensive coordinator Dave Aranda, Edwards flipped his commitment to Wisconsin in early December 2013.
Edwards sat out his freshman year. The team was preparing to play Auburn in the Outback Bowl at the end of the season. The team’s younger players were given extra reps, and UW defensive coordinator Dave Aranda praised Edwards, saying, “He was the MVP of that period, in my opinion.”
