Freshman Mike Edwards likes the Competition at UT

Mike Edwards is ready to prove he belongs at the University of Tennessee.
The 5-foot-10, 170-pound cornerback from Glenville High School in Cleveland, Ohio, will begin summer classes and workouts at UT today.
Edwards said his high school success won’t mean anything when he begins his UT career.
“I haven’t done anything yet,” he said. “I feel like me coming down there, I’m just another person that’s trying to succeed in football. I have to work harder than I’ve ever worked in my life.”
Edwards knows he’ll have to work hard to earn playing time in UT’s crowded defensive backfield.
He is one of five defensive backs signed in 2009, joining Eric Gordon, Janzen Jackson, Darren Myles and Nyshier Oliver.
Marsalis Teague, another 2009 signee, could see time at defensive back if UT’s staff decides he’s better suited to play defense than offense.
Edwards said the competition among the incoming defensive backs should make everyone better.
The SEC Rocks!
