Long, ascending Kentucky DL with early-playmaker traits
Cedric Works is a 6-foot-5, 254-pound freshman defensive lineman for Kentucky who flashed early in the 2025 season with 7 tackles across 6 games, then added value as a disruptive, length-driven defender on the edge. Kentucky listed him as a defensive lineman after recruiting him as a top-100 edge prospect, and his frame, motor, and versatility are the big selling points. He looks like a developmental fit for teams wanting upside, not just finished polish: high ceiling, still growing into the position, and already showing enough toughness to get on the field early.
