Cam Edwards’ season over

Connecticut native and former UConn standout running back Cam Edwards took his power-conference skills to Michigan State in the offseason, but his season already has ended.

He was carted off the field Saturday in the Spartans’ 31-13 loss to Nebraska, and head coach Pat Fitzgerald announced Monday that Edwards will be out for the season with a knee injury.

Edwards wrote a positive post on social media on Monday, despite his diagnosis. He vowed to “be back and better than ever!!”

In three-plus games this season, Edwards carried the ball 64 times for 304 yards and three touchdowns.

He played four seasons at UConn (2022-25) and is in the UConn record book for yards per attempt (tied for first at 5.6), rushing yards (fifth with 2,690), rushing touchdowns (fifth with 27) and carries (ninth with 467).

He was named to the Maxwell Award and Doak Walker Award watch lists prior to the start of the season. He entered the 2026 campaign ranked fourth among active FBS players in rushing yards and sixth in rushing TDs.
