With plenty of athleticism and skill at his disposal while standing at 206cm tall, Edwards continues to be a highly touted young ruckman and he strung together some positive form at the end of the 2025 season. 

After an interrupted start to his year, the 20-year-old returned to the VFL Cats in Round 13 and made an immediate impact, going on to play seven games in the second half of the campaign. 

His best performance came in the final round against Sydney, when Edwards collected a career-high 23 disposals and 21 hit-outs to lead Geelong to a dominant victory. 

With two seasons at the Cats now under his belt, watch for the talented young ruckman to take significant strides heading into an exciting new year.
