Ultimately, Cedric chose Purdue University but later transferred to Western Kentucky where he played as an All-American, graduating highly anticipant of being a NFL draft pick. But, adversity called Cedric’s name and he found himself in disarray, living in his car and in housing projects while relying on transitional assistance for food. Although his situation seemed dismal, Cedric refused to adopt a defeatist attitude and began to fight for the life that he wanted to live.
