Kendrick Edwards may have left Arkansas, the Razorbacks, but he hasn’t left Arkansas, the state.
According to a tweet posted to his personal Twitter account, Edwards revealed that he has been "[e]xtremely blessed and thankful for this new opportunity at Arkansas State University.” That Sun Belt football program, it should be noted, has yet to confirm Edwards’ addition to the roster.Extremely blessed and thankful for this new opportunity at Arkansas State University!! #6shooter #WolvesUp 🐺🤘🏽💯 pic.twitter.com/H1CCfV9HjI

This development is the latest twist in what’s thus far been an odd collegiate odyssey for Edwards.
In March of 2015, it was announced that Edwards had been removed from the Razorbacks football program and was given permission to speak to other schools about a transfer. However, Edwards was reinstated to the program shortly thereafter; however, the sequel, Edwards was permanently dismissed in the midst of the 2015 season for unspecified reasons.
Coming out of high school in Miami, Edwards was rated by 247Sports.com as a three-star recruit in the Class of 2014. In parts of two seasons with the Razorbacks, Edwards caught eight passes for 121 yards and a touchdown.
After sitting out the 2016 season to satisfy NCAA transfer rules, Edwards will have two seasons of eligibility remaining beginning in 2017.
