Appalachian State‘s QB Aramanti Edwards was a blade away from winning the coveted Darwin Award. Edwards, who was mowing his lawn at his off-campus residence, somehow got his right foot caught in the mower causing injuries. He was immediately treated and released from Watauga Medical Center.
The injury is not life threatening but will require him to stay off his foot and miss two to four weeks of practice. Coach Jerry Moore is hopeful that Edwards will have fully recovered before the season opener September 5th against East Carolina. The school is not releasing the severity of the injury or any other details.
Edwards, last year, won the Walter Payton Award given to the top player in the lower-tier Football Championship Subdivision.
We wish Edwards a speedy recovery and to stop mowing the lawn.
