Cedric McCloud’s Profile Is Built on Dual-Sport Grit, But His Kent State QB Tape Is Limited
McCloud arrived at Kent State as a decorated prep quarterback and track athlete, but his college production was extremely limited: in 2011 he completed 6 of 22 passes for 63 yards with no touchdowns and added -62 rushing yards on 10 carries. What makes him interesting is the upside-and-adversity story: Kent State notes he was a gunslinger-type passer in high school, and his early college career was interrupted by a redshirt and minimal game action. For a team, he profiles more as a developmental depth piece than a proven current starter.
