BLACKSBURG – Tremaine Edmunds smiled after being asked if he remembered the days when many expected him to be moved to defensive end not long after he arrived on campus in 2015.
Two years later and firmly entrenched as a linebacker, he finds himself with the possibility of winning the most prestigious national award for his position – the Butkus Award, which goes annually to the top linebacker in college football. The Danville, Virginia product is one of the finalists for the award.
“Linebacker was always the position I wanted to play,” Edmunds said.
