Braylon Edwards is a legend in the Michigan football program, so it’s only natural for him to want his younger brother to suit up in the Maize and Blue on Saturdays. The only problem is Michigan has yet to come calling, and the guy who holds almost every Wolverines career receiving record isn’t happy about it.
Edwards went on Twitter Tuesday night to voice his displeasure about the lack of interest his alma mater has shown in his brother Berkley Edwards, a 5-foot-8, 176-pound junior running back from Chelsea, Mich.
“I don’t understand how my brother has the 8th fastes [sic] time in the country in the 60m, ran for 1800 yards last year and 20 and UofM wontcall,” Braylon wrote.
Berkley reportedly has a 4.52 40-time, but neither Rivals nor Scout have given Berkley a rating yet. Rivals, however, reports that Central Michigan has already offered a scholarship.
“Love my school and I played for coach [Brady Hoke] but call my brother before its too late and you guys miss out,” Braylon also tweeted.
You can understand where Braylon is coming from, but Michigan’s lack of interest probably isn’t a referendum on his brother but rather a crowded backfield that added three more backs in this year’s recruiting class. Sometimes the numbers don’t work out in your favor. Braylon can understand that. He should just be glad Ohio State hasn’t come calling.
