The funny thing about those numbers is that they might be a little low. If you talk to anyone who played with Ed, or watched Ed on the gridiron, most agree that he had many more tackles than what is in the record books. But regardless of what his true statistics were, they probably don't accurately reflect the impact he had on Wake Forest football.
Ed was a two-time first team All-ACC selection in 1970 and 1971. He played in the 1971 Blue-Gray All-Star Game. During his three seasons at Wake Forest, the Deacons posted two winning seasons under coach Cal Stoll. In 1970, Ed was instrumental in leading Wake Forest to its first ACC championship.
At less than six-feet tall and just over 200 pounds, Ed was considered too small to play linebacker in the ACC. But he had incredible heart and toughness, and in the end, he left Wake Forest as one of the best in school history.
