Air Force senior offensive lineman Isaac Cochran has been named to the Walter Camp All-America second team, the organization announced today. Cochran is just the fifth player in program history to earn Walter Camp All-America honors and first since defensive back Carlton McDonald in 1992. He is the first Falcon to earn All-America honors since Weston Steelhammer earned second-team honors by the Associated Press in 2016.
Cochran is the first Air Force offensive player to earn first or second team All-America honors on one of the major teams since Dave Schreck was named second-team All-American by Associated Press in 1982. He is one of just four offensive linemen to earn first or second team All-America honors in program history.
Cochran was a first-team all-Mountain West selection this season, as well as earning Sporting News Midseason All-America team honors. Cochran began his career at Air Force as a walk-on. Air Force is a non-scholarship school, but Cochran recruited himself to the program. He anchors the offensive line, which has paved the way for the Falcons to lead the nation in rushing with a 330.9 average. Air Force has allowed 1.0 sacks per game which leads the MW and ranks 11th nationally. The Falcons lead the nation time of possession with a 36:16 mark.
