Edelmann recently concluded an accomplished Rutgers career, which this season saw him named a Third Team All-American, First Team All-Big Ten and the Big Ten Co-Specialist of the Year, All-ECAC and was a participant in the North/South Senior All-Star Game.

The team captain majored in Labor Studies and Employment Relations and is working towards a postgraduate degree.
