Edmunds chose the Buckeyes over other prominent programs, including Michigan, Penn State, and Texas. His decision was influenced by deep family ties to Ohio State; his grandfather attended the university and hailed from Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. Reflecting on his commitment, Edmunds stated, “I’ve always wanted to play at Ohio State since I was a little kid. I felt like I’ve always been a Buckeye, and now it’s just official.” ([theohiopodcast.com](https://theohiopodcast.com/ohio-state-lands-2027-five-star-qb-brady-edmunds/?utm_source=chatgpt.com))
The Buckeyes’ coaching staff, particularly head coach Ryan Day and offensive coordinator Chip Kelly, played a pivotal role in Edmunds’ recruitment. They first noticed his talent during a summer recruiting camp, where he showcased impressive arm strength and mobility. Multiple visits to Columbus, including game-day experiences against Iowa and Michigan, further solidified his interest. During these visits, Edmunds had the opportunity to sit in on quarterback meetings and engage in one-on-one discussions with the coaching staff. He remarked, “They weren’t just recruiting me—they were showing me their vision for my development and how I could thrive in their system. It felt like family.” ([theohiopodcast.com](https://theohiopodcast.com/ohio-state-lands-2027-five-star-qb-brady-edmunds/?utm_source=chatgpt.com))
In his sophomore season, Edmunds delivered a standout performance, completing 217 of 348 passes for 3,222 yards and 36 touchdowns, along with nine rushing touchdowns. He describes himself as more than just a pocket passer, emphasizing his willingness to make plays with his legs and physicality. “I’m not afraid to put my shoulder down. I’m willing to do whatever it takes,” Edmunds noted.
