Personal
Born Edwin Rios, but goes by “Eddie”… Undecided on major… Nicknames include “ER5” and “E-Class”… Knew he wanted to play at Miami when he saw former Hurricanes Marcus Barnes (2000-02) and John Salmons (1998-02) play at
UM… Wears number five because “many great point guards have worn the number.”
