Alabama Swimming and Diving Signs James Edwards
TUSCALOOSA, Ala ??The University of Alabama Swimming and Diving program signed James Edwards to a national letter of intent in the early signing period according to head coach Eric McIlquham. Edwards will wear the crimson and white of Alabama starting with the 2007-08 season.
“James is a very explosive athlete out of Memphis, Tennessee,” McIlquham said. “He is going to add to our sprint program and I look for him to be a valuable asset both in individual events and the relays.”
A two-time All-American, Edwards was named MVP of his squad and was named the Commercial Appeal's "Best of the Preps". He was member of the 2006 Tennessee State Champion 200 freestyle relay squad.
A native of Memphis, Tenn., Edwards competes for David Smith at Memphis Tigers Swimming as well as Christian Brothers High School.
