Cedric Fernandes is a seasoned North Texas defensive back with special-teams grit
Cedric Fernandes is a redshirt senior DB for North Texas who has been a steady, durable presence in the program, listed at 5-10, 185 and originally from Arlington’s Martin HS. In the 2018 season, he appeared in 13 games and finished with 11 tackles, with much of his value coming on special teams rather than headline-grabbing stats. The appeal here is reliability: he’s the kind of veteran who brings toughness, positional flexibility, and game-day consistency—more glue guy than splash play machine, which can be exactly what a staff wants.
