His decision comes amid a frustrating 2-4 start for the Wildcats and limited playing time due to injury.
Kansas State running back Dylan Edwards plans to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal and sit out the rest of the 2025 season, sources told On3 Friday. The move marks the second transfer of Edwards' college career.
Edwards, who began his career at Colorado in 2023, has appeared in just four games this season for the Wildcats, allowing him to preserve his redshirt status and retain a year of eligibility moving forward. He'll likely spend the rest of 2025 exploring his options for next year.
A native of Derby, Kansas, Edwards was a four-star prospect in the Class of 2023 and ranked as the No. 11 running back nationally. He transferred to Kansas State after one season in Boulder and quickly carved out a role in the Wildcats' backfield.
Through 28 career games, Edwards has totaled 1,072 rushing yards and eight touchdowns on the ground, along with 58 receptions for 449 yards and six scores through the air. This season, he rushed for 205 yards and two touchdowns on 34 carries, averaging 6.0 yards per attempt.

Edwards missed time earlier this fall after suffering an injury on a punt return during Kansas State's opener against Iowa State in Dublin. With the Wildcats sitting at 2-4 overall and 1-2 in Big 12 play, he'll now turn his focus toward recovery and his next destination.
Meanwhile, Kansas State will be in action on Saturday, Nov. 15 as they travel to take on Oklahoma State. Kickoff is set for 12:00 p.m. ET on ESPNU.
