Where do the Georgia Bulldogs and Atlanta United fit in?
Anthony Edwards was born in Atlanta, Georgia, on August 5, 2001, and attended two Atlanta high schools, Daniel McLaughlin Therrell and Holy Spirit Prep. Both teams connect to that background, but neither tie comes from Edwards saying he roots for them.
The Georgia link is his college career. Edwards played at Georgia in 2019 and 2020 before the Minnesota Timberwolves took him first overall in the 2020 draft. Sports Illustrated wrote on November 15, 2025 that his signature adidas sneaker line is a way to "show love to his alma mater." That is a reporter's description of a shoe, and it ties him to the school, not to the Bulldogs as a team he follows.
Atlanta United's connection is the city. Goal, in an item that carries no date, used the line "Hardly home but always reppin'" in connection with Edwards. That is also a third party's wording, and it places him as an Atlanta native with a reported link to the club, not as someone who has named it as his team.
