DURHAM, N.C. – The preseason accolades continue to roll in for Duke redshirt senior DeVon Edwards, who was named an Athlon Sports Fourth Team All-America as a kickoff returner. 

Edwards, a 5-9, 180-pound product of Covington, Ga., is a returning Sports Illustrated All-America return specialist. In 40 career games, he owns 72 kickoff returns for 2,019 yards (28.04 ypr) and six touchdowns. Edwards holds Duke's single-season records for kickoff return average (30.21 in 2013) and kickoff returns for TDs (3 in 2015), as well as the program's career record for kickoff returns for scores. He shares the ACC and NCAA record for longest kickoff return (100 yards vs. N.C. State, 2013 & vs. Georgia Tech, 2015).

Among active players in the ACC, Edwards ranks first in kickoff returns, first in kickoff return yards, first in kickoff returns for TDs and second in kickoff return average. He sits one kickoff return for TD short of the ACC and NCAA record of seven held by C.J. Spiller of Clemson (2006-09).
