Husky Talk is back with hell of a guest, former UConn Linebacker @uc45official. We were teammates and I did not know his story, learning about what he is doing now is really special. Watch the episode, it's an amazing journey. a true story of resilience and success.
Cedric grew up in Virginia and didn't play football until he was in 8th grade. He played in the backyard but never had an opportunity to play as a youth and fell in love with the game when he finally was able to put pads on.
Cedric played at one of the best high schools in Virginia, but the staff was not as proactive about sending their kids to play college football.
Not being offered out of high school despite incredible statistics, he went to Lackawanna Junior College, one of the top JC programs in the country.
Cedric continued to dominate and in 2001, with Nick Graby, @ezracarey all came to @uconnfootball from Lackawanna College, making an impact. Coach @re122198 always believed in Junior College players who. Coach Edsall and Coach @coachtoddorlando changed Cedric's life.
He worked Construction before taking a leap with his Entrepreneural spirit and started his own company in New Haven, Above Average Transportation.
They provide underprivileged kids with rides they normally would be without. They have contracts with schools and different groups supporting kids to participate in sports or any club, which has made a tremendous difference in the community.

Cedric runs a Non-Profit Organization called the Future Leaders Academy. They work with adolescents on building life skills and developing leadership qualities. Cedric has a family of his own and is truly a remarkable person who always gives back. It was a heartwarming episode, and he is doing God's work.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
