The former Tiger made his mark as the USA South's first back-to-back Offensive Player of the Year honoree by combining for over 4,400 passing yards, 1,500 rushing yards, 38 passing touchdowns, and 23 rushing during his junior and senior year under center.

After four years of football and one season of basketball, Cedric graduated and headed overseas to play football in Sweden for the Carlstad Crusaders for the '08 season. Returned for a second season in 2009 and helped them to an undefeated regular season. However, in 2010 through 2013 he played with the Franken Knights in the GFL.
