Despite facing stiff challenges from Texas A&M’s Miles O’Neill, who had an inside track with the new OC, Edwards held his own and has now locked down the Tar Heels’ starting job. With just one more college season left to make his mark in a Power Five conference, Edwards’ move underscores the QB churn that’s become a hallmark of Wisconsin football over recent years — players often transfer to seize starting roles elsewhere.
