Protecting More Than QBs: The Rise of Cy Ranch Star OL R'Monie Edwards

R’Monie Edwards doesn’t wear a costume when he takes his three younger siblings trick-or-treating — he’s already a scary sight for opposing defenses.

On this Halloween night, as Edwards strolls behind his little siblings who dash from house to house, it’s easy to mistake this high school sophomore for a grown man. At 6-foot-6 and 300 pounds, he’s started at left tackle for Cypress Ranch, a Class 6A school, since the second game of his freshman year. Head coach Will Blaylock says that by the time he graduates, he’ll have played more varsity snaps than anyone in school history. The college scouts have seen enough already — Edwards has 20 offers from schools such as Texas, Texas A&M, and Ole Miss.
