Freshman RB Donovan Edwards scores first TD at Michigan

The No. 25 Michigan Wolverines are currently dominating Northern Illinois at home. With Michigan up with a huge lead over Northern Illinois, it has allowed them to play more of their young players and develop them.

One player the Wolverines want to develop is former four-star running back and true freshman Donovan Edwards. In the middle of the third quarter, Edwards got his first collegiate touchdown with a four-yard score up the middle to put the Wolverines up 56-3.

The following drive, Edwards took a 58-yard run to the house to put the Wolverines 63-3. Near the end of the third quarter, Edwards has rushed for 86 yards and two touchdowns on eight carries.

His future looks bright in Ann Arbor with this breakout game.
