Another running back leaves the Miami Hurricanes’ football program
Another running back has departed early from the University of Miami.
The university announced Wednesday afternoon that Gus Edwards, who would have been a redshirt senior for the 2017 season, is transferring from the school.
Earlier this month, Joe Yearby, who rushed for more than 1,000 yards in 2015, left for the NFL Draft.
“Gus indicated to me that he would like to explore the possibility of other opportunities to continue his football career and we have given him permission to do that,’’ UM football coach Mark Richt said in a statement released by Miami.
