Edwards is the type of player who makes herself useful no matter where the ball is going. She can take a swing, transition off the net, step into serve receive, and turn around to make a defensive play on the very next contact. Her ability to move between responsibilities without losing focus gives her a valuable presence across all six rotations. Edwards’ defensive production also backs that up. Recording 296 digs and averaging 3.9 digs per set as an outside is impressive, especially while carrying responsibilities in the front row. She stays engaged in the match and does not wait around for her opportunity to come to her. Edwards goes looking for ways to impact the next point, and that all-around mindset keeps her firmly on this watchlist.

Edwards finished last season with 296 digs and 3.9 digs per set as an outside hitter. That is some serious defensive production from a player who is also expected to carry an offensive role. She brings a true six-rotation mindset to the court and does not mentally check out when the ball is not coming her way. Edwards can pass, defend, transition, and then turn around and take a swing. As stated before, she stays involved from start to finish, which makes her the kind of all-around player coaches love having on the floor.

Edwards is the kind of six-rotation outside every coach wants in their lineup. She moves seamlessly from offense to defense and stays ready for whatever the rally throws her way. Whether she’s passing in the back row or taking a swing in the front, she brings the same competitive mindset. Furthermore, Edwards is someone you can trust anywhere on the court. She finds a way to contribute, and that makes her a fun player to watch.

Balancing roles as an outside and setter didn’t stop Edwards from putting up 296 digs in 75 sets (3.9 per set). She stays steady on her feet, reads early, and helps keep Durango in the system. Heading into club, her versatility and clean defensive movements will make her a valuable piece on any roster.
