RETURNING STANDOUT

Lincoln returns multiple productive receivers from last year and will look to 2027 WR Colton Edwards to be one of their go to targets again. Edwards had a big junior season for the Cougars, consistently getting open and making plays after the catch. His quickness and route-running allow him to create separation, making him a difficult cover in space for defenders. With a new quarterback stepping into the offense, Edwards’ familiarity and playmaking ability should make him a great security blanket and a dangerous weapon to have returning this season.

2027 Lincoln WR Colton Edwards earned a spot in the rankings after a productive junior season. While he may not be the biggest receiver, Edwards consistently finds ways to create separation and make defenders miss in space. He was a key piece of Lincoln’s offense last season and should remain one of the Cougars’ top weapons heading into his senior year. A new quarterback could impact his overall production, but the talent is still there to put together another strong campaign. Edwards brings good value in this range of the rankings and is a player D3 programs should have on their radar this fall.
