Versatile DB with Special-Teams Upside and Developmental Range
Cedric Franklin is a 6-foot, 184-pound defensive back who brings versatility, athleticism, and a history of being trusted in multiple roles; at Kell, he played both cornerback and quarterback, and his prep production included 61 tackles, an interception, seven pass breakups, and two fumble recoveries over his final two seasons, while also flashing efficiency as a passer. He has transferred from Georgia Tech to Arkansas State and was listed as a redshirt freshman/transfer, but he did not record defensive stats in 2025, so the appeal is upside, multi-position value, and developmental fit rather than proven college production.[1][5][7][11]
