A captain inside 19–0
The Greenbrier Athletic Hall of Fame identifies Edging as a 1962 graduate and member of both undefeated football teams. Its profile says he was co-captain as a senior and earned All-Red River Conference recognition in both his junior and senior seasons.
College football and a return to coaching
The Hall says Edging received a football scholarship to Mississippi State, played there for two seasons and completed his college career at Middle Tennessee State in 1965 and 1966. As a senior he was named to the All-Ohio Valley Conference defensive team at free safety.
After college, the profile records a career teaching science and biology while coaching football, basketball and baseball in high school.
