The article on the Edmunds brothers outlines how all three went to Dan River High School before going on to play college football at Virginia Tech and then the NFL.

“Originally from Pittsylvania County, Trey, Terrell, and Tremaine Edmunds played football at Dan River High School and Virginia Tech and currently play in the NFL.

The oldest of the three, Trey graduated from Virginia Tech in three in a half years with an Bachelor’s in Communications/Business and Leadership. After graduating from Virginia Tech, Trey attended the University of Maryland where he played football and obtained a Master’s degree in Real Estate Development. In 2017, Trey signed with the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted free agent and joined the Pittsburgh Steelers as a running back in September 2018.

Terrell, the middle of the three, also attended Virginia Tech where he played football, starting as a strong safety and middle line backer from 2015 to 2017. He too graduated from Virginia Tech in three and a half years. After his junior year in 2017, he decided to forgo his senior year in college and enter the 2018 NFL Draft where he was picked by the Pittsburgh Steelers with the 28th overall pick.

During his junior year at Dan River High, Tremaine, the youngest of the three, accumulated 123 tackles, four sacks, and two interceptions. He was nominated for for Virginia’s defensive player of  the year. Just as his older brothers did, Tremaine attended Virginia Tech, playing for the team from 2015 to 2017. He too decided to forgo his senior year of college and enter the 2018 NFL Draft. Tremaine was picked 16th overall by the Buffalo Bills in the first round.

Their father, Ferrell Edmunds, also played in the NFL as a tight end for the Dolphins. Their mother Felicia Edmunds competed as a track athlete at Southern Illinois University and became physical education teacher.”
