Miami has officially signed one of the best testing linebackers in the 2026 class with JJ Edwards out of Edgewater, Fla.
A 6-foot-1, 200 pound linebacker, Edwards excels with how he reads the game. He’s one of those linebackers that has discipline in following the ball, not getting overly caught up in the blockers.
Moreover, one of the intriguing aspects of his profile is his speed. Edwards ran a 4.57 verified time at the Under Armour camp, and it translates to game speed. He’s able to hold his own with receivers and keep up well, while simultaneously having the strength to shed blockers in the run game.
His testing numbers are elite across the board, combine that with his measurables and it becomes clear why Edwards was a must-get for the linebacker room. Edwards has continuously risen throughout his senior season and will continue to do so all the way up to his arrival on campus next year.
