Vanderbilt's offensive line has been in a state of flux under Derek Mason. Injuries and attrition have prevented the Commodores' blockers from putting together a full season as a cohesive unit in recent seasons.
Now, a 6'7, 305-pound tackle could help end that trend. Mason and the Commodores added a major piece to their depth chart when Devin Cochran faxed his letter of intent to Nashville on National Signing Day.
Cochran is a consensus three-star recruit whose size is reminiscent of another lauded Commodore offensive line recruit - current left tackle Andrew Jelks (6'6, 305). His long arms and solid frame made him a sought-after prospect across the Power 5 conferences.
