Edwards sets new Grambling record for career receiving touchdowns
By Nick Deriso
Senior Grambling State receiver Clyde Edwards has set a new school record for career touchdowns.
Junior passer Brandon Landers hit Edwards on the visitors' sideline, and the Houston native raced 37 yards to score with 13:03 left in the first half of today’s homecoming game against Texas Southern. GSU led 28-0 at that point in the ongoing Southwestern Athletic Conference contest.
Edwards tied the school record on a 2-yard pass from Landers with 1:53 left in the first quarter, putting Grambling up by three touchdowns.
The previous GSU record, set by Jonesboro-Hodge product Scotty Anderson in a career ending in 2000, was 35 touchdowns.
