Cedric Baxter Jr. emerged onto the scene as a sophomore when he played at three different positions -- running back, linebacker and defensive back -- and helped play a big role in Edgewater’s run to the state playoffs. He moved to his natural running back spot as a junior and took Florida high school football by storm with around 1,700 rushing yards, 26 touchdowns and an 8.3 yard per carry average. Baxter, who goes by the nickname "C4", originally committed to Florida State early in the recruiting process but backed away from that pledge. He plans on majoring in math in college. His parents are Cedric Baxter Sr. and Latoya Zanders.

Elite / Top 100

Big-framed runner with the ability to hit home runs. Went from a versatile athlete to a bell cow back in his junior season. Has the largest frame of top running backs in the 2023 cycle, checking in at over 6-foot-1 and around 215 pounds prior to his senior season. Has room to add more mass with his frame and could top out around 230 pounds. Gets downhill quickly. Shows the ability to make cuts at full speed in tight quarters. Efficient in his cuts with little wasted movement. Has the stride and on-field play speed to pull away once in the open field. Capable of running with power and has shown signs of a dangerous stiff arm. At his best when given a runway as an outside runner. Productive in Florida’s top classification as a junior, rushing for 1,651 yards and 22 touchdowns. Got off to a hot start as a senior as well, prior to sustaining an injury that limited his touches in the second half of the season. Draws on his background as a wide receiver as a pass catcher out of the backfield. A natural pass catcher with quickness in his routes. Among the better pass-catching running backs in the 2023 cycle. Has dealt with hamstring injuries.
