Cedric Thatch brings UAB a proven all-purpose weapon with real splash-play history
Cedric Thatch is best known for his explosiveness as a return threat, highlighted by an 85-yard kickoff return in UAB’s 1999 matchup with Wake Forest, which underscores the kind of field-flipping speed that can change a game in one touch.[1] Historical UAB statistics also show he contributed as a compact, efficient runner, averaging 5.6 yards per carry on 34 rushes in the 2000 season, suggesting a back who can create value without needing a heavy workload.[5] He profiles as a differentiator for teams that want instant-play upside, special-teams juice, and a player whose impact goes beyond box-score volume.[1][5]
