2019 Season Countdown: #58 Tyler Cochran

2019 Season Countdown: #58 Tyler Cochran


July 5, 2019
Tyler Cochran

I just finished reading Brad Thor’s Foreign Agent (LINK):

Name: Tyler Cochran
Height:
6’1″
Weight:
201 lbs.
High school:
Orchard Lake (MI) St. Mary’s
Position:
Safety
Class:
Redshirt junior
Jersey number:
#30
Last year:
I ranked Cochran #112 and said he would be a backup safety and special teamer (LINK). He played in all thirteen games and made 1 tackle.
TTB Rating:
N/A

At first glance it may seem like I have this walk-on safety ranked too high – and maybe I do. But I’ll start off my justification with this: his thirteen games played in 2018 is more than the guys above and below him in the countdown.

Cochran won the Most Improved Special Teams Player of the Year in 2018, and that includes winning over some other guys who had solid years on special teams (Will Hart, Jake McCurry, Ambry Thomas, etc.).

Cochran, the son of Brad Cochran (who played at Michigan from 1981-1985), should see plenty of time on special teams again in 2019.

Prediction: Backup safety, special teamer
