2025 3-Star CB Flips Away from WVU Football, Commits to Michigan State

The WVU football staff’s hot streak recruiting wise takes a hit as December’s National Signing Day fast approaches. After adding three recent new commits early in the week, one of West Virginia’s top prospects now flips away from the Mountaineers.

Terrance “Deuce” Edwards revealed his decision to switch his commitment from WVU to Michigan State on Instagram on Wednesday. The loss of Edwards now removes a three-star cornerback from a program looking to retool the secondary.

Edwards initially committed to West Virginia on June 16. At that time, WVU beat out Michigan State and other major programs to land Edwards.

The class of 2025 cornerback, who took his official visit to WVU in late March, attends the Trinity Episcopal School in Richmond, Va. Every major recruiting outlet has Edwards rated with three stars and a spot within the top 20 Virginia based players. He’s also considered a top 50 cornerback nationally by most.

Edwards told WV Sports Now that “they love me and want me there” while referring to his talks with the West Virginia coaches before his summer commitment.

Rivals views Edwards with the most favorable ranking, placing him as the No. 11 recruit in the state. WVU’s plan to build a longstanding relationship with Edward may be what eventually wins out. West Virginia was one of the first FBS schools to show interest in Edwards, sending him an offer in May of 2022.

Edwards showed his versatility and playmaking ability during his junior season in 2023, recording 33 tackles, three interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown, one forced fumble and even scored five times on offense.

Before narrowing down his list, Edwards was being pursued by schools like Boston College, Clemson, Colorado, Florida State, Louisville, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Penn State, Tennessee, Virginia among many others from all levels around the country.
