If a good offensive line is the first key to winning in the SEC, then a good pash rush is obviously a close second.

The SEC is known for their tough in-the-trenches style of football.

If the Commodores are going to be successful and reach a second straight bowl game, they’ll have to be able to get after the quarterback.

Stone Edwards is a newcomer that could possibly contribute as a true freshman.

This is another example of a player that’s viewed as one of the better players in Vandy’s 2017 class, but he’s still underrated.

Edwards needs to put on some weight if he’s going to play as a defensive end at Vanderbilt, otherwise he could end up as pass rushing outside linebacker.

Either way, Edwards is an extremely athletic kid that should get plenty of opportunities in Nashville.
