Mount Pleasant, Michigan isn’t exactly the refuge you would imagine for ex-Gators but we’re trending in that direction.
As reported by Central Michigan Life, recent Florida defensive back Brian Edwards has found his transfer destination at CMU and reunited with his old head coach Jim McElwain.
It remains to be seen if there’s any sort of waiver process that Edwards is pursuing with the NCAA but he likely will sit out 2019 and have two years of eligibility left at the MAC school.
Originally a three-star prospect out of the Miami area, Edwards saw action at UF in both of his years in Gainesville -- the first of which was for McElwain. He was expected to be a backup for the Gators this year under Dan Mullen but was arrested this offseason for misdemeanor battery of his girlfriend.
The charges were later dropped in the case but Edwards remained in the transfer portal.
