Edwards, son of former NFL fullback Marc Edwards, ran for 517 yards on 38 carries and reached the end zone eight times, breaking Henry's mark of six. The Baltimore Ravens running back ran for six touchdowns four times as a senior at
Yulee (Fla.) in 2012.
Edwards scored twice early, cracking the 100-yard mark less than seven minutes into the contest. He added another score in the second quarter and went to intermission with more than 220 yards on the ground.

Edwards' record-tying sixth touchdown again went for 75 yards up the middle and he tacked on two more late in the Bulldogs' fifth victory of the season. The 6-foot-2, 215-pound back holds eight offers according to 2427Sports.
His unofficial 517 yards rushing also comes close to the Florida state mark. Henry held the mark of 502 yards until
Kaleb Wagner of
Baker (Fla.) eclipsed it in 2021 running for 535 yards on 25 carries and six touchdowns in a 49-48 home win over South Walton (Santa Rosa Beach).
