Air Force’s walk-on success story and proven All-America-caliber anchor up front
Cochran has been one of Air Force’s most decorated offensive linemen in recent years, earning Walter Camp All-America second-team honors in 2022 after becoming a two-year starter and a Burlsworth Trophy nominee as a former walk-on.[1][3][5] At 6-foot-5, 325 pounds, he brings legitimate power and durability to the Falcons’ run-heavy offense, with enough reputation to draw preseason All-Mountain West and NFL draft attention.[3][7] His differentiator is development: a walk-on who rose into a high-level, dependable starter, which suggests toughness, competitiveness, and coachability.[3][5]
