The edge position in football is a term for a defensive player who attacks the offense from the edge of the defensive line. The term is also known as "edge rusher" or "edge defender".

The edge position can be filled by either a defensive end (DE) or an outside linebacker (OLB), depending on the defensive scheme:

  • 4-3 defense: The DE is the edge rusher.
  • 3-4 defense: The OLB is the edge rusher.
In our system under Odom he lined up at both DE and OLB.

So yes he could be viewed as a DE/DL or OLB. He played with his hand in the dirt and standing up..He's listed as DE on UNLV website.

He grab the QB by the leg and threw him less than 10 yards and got called for roughing? LOL
He quits football.
My wife and I use to love watching him play the game. The kid is naturally strong without ever lifting weights. He just turn 16 and a junior in HS. Freakish strong. He is better in the classroom. Big kid with a better brain than his parents.

With the number of players that have graduated and those that are in the portal, it may be reasonable that UNLV could need a total of around 40 players to replace those leaving. If you take those who have come through the portal and the 2025 class of recruits already signed, it probably leaves UNLV needing another 10-20 more players.

Our DC and our HC needs specific type of skill players to fit into their scheme. Our OC may have some added needs. Our special team still need some skill boots.

The, 1990 NCAA basketball championship team is almost a memory.
Yes, UNLV is a football school now. No, longer a basketball school.

If you look at UNLV winning the national championship in 1990 compared to now, that would be like us in 1990 talking about a team that had won the national championship back in 1956!
