Cedrick Hawkins is officially a Buckeye.

The 5-11 safety from Titusville, Florida shed his black stripe alongside walk-on tight end Jace Middleton on Saturday, joining the rest of his class as the 20th freshman to lose his stripe for the Buckeyes this year.

Hawkins was rated as a four-star out of Cocoa High School by 24/7Sports, and while he didn't see any action during the 2023 regular season, he could make an impact on the field in 2024.

Congrats to Hawkins and all of his teammates who have shed their black stripes this year. Here's a complete chart of Buckeyes who have done so in 2023:
