Gus Edwards Cleared For Miami Hurricanes

As of a few days back things hung in the balance, but according to head coach Al Golden in his Monday morning presser, freshman running back Gus Edwards is expected back at practice on Tuesday August 20th. Friends of allCanesBlog.com, CaneInsider.com, and specifically Brandon Odoi, were there to report the scoop.

Hung up with some NCAA Clearinghouse issues the past few days, the 6-foot-2, 225-pound running back out of Staten Island, New York has ben sidelined and remained ineligible. Golden stated days back that the issue wasn’t anything deficient on the academic front. It appeared to be a paperwork issue that has since been dealt with.

Edwards is vying for playing time behind sophomore sensation Duke Johnson, while Dallas Crawford and Eduardo Clements are expected to contribute.

Clements, a senior, returns from a neck injury suffered against Florida State last season. The Booker T. Washington standout had two herniated discs, but worked out hard this -off-season to take off weight / replace muscle and is expected to be game-ready next week.
