High school and college career

As a freshman at Louisville playing with Derrick Caracter, Earl Clark and Jerry Smith, the young group struggled early in the 2006–07 season. The team went on to win 8 out of its last 10 games, earning a bid to the NCAA Tournament. In the second round of the NCAA Tournament against Texas A&M, Édgar scored 31 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist. He shot 15 for 17 from the line and 7 for 9 from the field. Sosa shot 15 for 15 on free throws to start the game, but missed his final two, as Texas A&M won the game.

On January 4, 2009, Sosa hit a game winning 25 footer over Michael Porter, Kentucky's point guard. That season, Sosa helped lead the Cardinals to the Elite Eight, where they lost to Michigan State.

In his four-year career at Louisville, Sosa played 140 games and averaged 9.7 points per game.[1]
