Cam Edwards Aims for Doak Walker Glory | Michigan State Spartans Football News

Michigan State’s football future just got a major boost as transfer running back Cam Edwards, a two-time 1,000-yard rusher from UConn, has landed on the Doak Walker Award watch list — the same award that once crowned Kenneth Walker III, who led MSU to an 11-win season and Peach Bowl glory in 2021. Edwards, also on the Maxwell Award watch list, is poised to be the Spartans’ top back this year, with new head coach Pat Fitzgerald calling him “the best” he’s ever seen and joking he might need bubble wrap to protect him. Edwards himself aims for national championship glory, Big Ten dominance, and the title of best RB in the country. He’s not alone — offensive lineman Ben Murawski and linebacker Jordan Hall are also earning preseason honors. The Spartans open their 2026 campaign at home against Toledo on September 4th.
