2019 Season Countdown: #58 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

Nightly Roundup: July 4, 2019

Happy Fourth of July!

Ben Bredeson and Lavert Hill are pre-season All-Americans (LINK).

This is an excellent piece on former Kentucky quarterback Jared Lorenzen, who passed away recently (LINK). I apologize if it’s behind a paywall at The Athletic.

Below is a great video of Taylor Lewan breaking down offensive line play:
