Former Georgia wide receiver Terrence Edwards accepted the head coaching position at Mount Vernon School (Atlanta) on Thursday.
Edwards holds UGA’s all-time receiving records in career receiving yards (3,093), career touchdown receptions (30) and most receiving yards in a single season (1,004).
Edwards played for the Bulldogs from 1999-2002 before joining the Atlanta Falcons as an undrafted free agent in 2003. Injuries plagued Edwards’ single year in the NFL and he spent the 2004 season out of football entirely before joining the CFL’s Toronto Argonauts in 2005.
Edwards went on to spend nine seasons in the CFL, which also included stints with the Montreal Alouettes and Winnipeg Blue Bombers. He is considered one of the most productive receivers in CFL history, earning All-Star honors in 2007, 2010 and 2011. Edwards retired from football in 2013 after totaling 508 catches for 7,673 yards and 47 touchdowns.
Edwards went on to create his own company, Terrence Edwards’ Wide Receiver Academy, in 2015, focusing on training wide receivers.

Georgia tight end Brock Bowers came close to breaking Edwards’ career touchdowns record, but an ankle injury derailed Bowers’ hopes of breaking that record.
