American Heritage DT Edgar Cerenord (6’2”, 290) has enjoyed a Spring filled with offers from Arkansas, Cincinnati, Wake Forest, East Carolina, Indiana, Rutgers, and UCF amongst others. Although he knows these are steps in the right direction, Cerenord isn’t willing to settle.
“It means a lot, but then again it doesn’t because that stuff can kind of get your mind off of the main goal, which is winning the state championship. I’m just going to keep working hard so that good things happen,” said Cerenord.
American Heritage will have high hopes yet again this season, as they will be playing this season with a new Head Coach, former Miami Hurricane Mike Rumph.
“It’s been different in many different ways. Practice is more physical and high-tempo. You just have to work harder and the coaches are pushing us to the limit.”
Heritage will be boasting one of the top schedules in the entire country next season and Cerenord is looking forward to the challenge.
“We don’t think about it as us having a hard schedule, we think about it as them having a tough game with us on their schedule. We’re trying to work hard and get to the top. Cypress Bay, Central, Columbus, Chaminade are our first four games and I think we might have Delray Heritage in there too.”
What has the agile lineman been working on this offseason?
“I’ve been trying to focus on my pass-rush because my cousin has pointed it out to me that most of my highlights are run-stop plays. Even in practice, I’m focusing on getting after the quarterback. I’m still progressing with it.”
Something that Cerenord prides himself on is his elite conditioning and quickness, which is a rare combination for most at his position.
“It helps a lot because I can do more things than most big guys my size. I train hard with my trainer and it makes everything better because you don’t have to be huffing-and-puffing all the time.”
Cerenord has taken the recruiting process step-by-step and is planning his summer schedule.
“What I’m doing now is going through a process with my family and cousin to make a list of all the schools with interest in me and have offered me and putting down the coaches’ phone numbers and camp dates because I know a lot of these camps are on the same date.”
One school he hopes to hear more from is the University of Florida.
“Florida is stacked at defensive tackle, but growing up I like them a lot and they were big for me, but I’m open to everybody.”
Cerenord has had contact with Miami in the past, most notably with Defensive Coordinator Mark D’Onofrio. He spoke with the ‘Canes about three weeks ago when they were at his school.
“The week before Sony’s decision they were there and told me to go to a camp, but I haven’t had a chance to talk to Coach D’Onofrio lately. I’ll probably call him this week.”
