Back and better than ever

Posted Aug 26, 2005

Even though he came out of high school as a four-star recruit, Barrington Edwards got lost at LSU in the depth and talent of the Tigers' backfield. Ranked as the 10th-best running back in the nation as a senior, Edwards is a big pickup for the Tar Heels. At LSU Edwards picked up 161 yards in a backup role, averaging more than 4 yards per carry. As the top tailback at North Carolina, he figures to get around 200 carries this season for the Tar Heels. (Carolina Blue)
