Who is Daijun Edwards? Hometown, college, age, family, and more to know about the Georgia Bulldogs RB

Daijun Edwards has grabbed headlines for his impressive displays for the Georgia Bulldogs this season. The running back (RB) is now set to lead the offensive backline for the team in their College Football National Championship game against the TCU Horned Frogs on Monday (January 9).

Amidst his outstanding ability and athleticism on the football field, fans are now curious to learn more about Daijun Edwards and his personal life. While there is not a lot of information about Edwards' family members, we know that he had an affinity for the sport while growing up in Moultrie, GA.

He played for Colquitt County before joining the Georgia Bulldogs in 2020. He rushed for 218 yards on 37 runs in his debut season for the team.

However, Edwards has only gone from strength to strength ever since. The running back has forced his way to the top of Georgia's attackers, alongside the highly-talented Kenny McIntosh.

He is currently in his third season with the Bulldogs but his age is still not available. Edwards is listed as 5 feet and 11 inches tall, weighing in at 91 kilograms, and is one of the most athletic members on Georgia's roster.
