Jalen Cochran to Arizona: Linebacker picks Wildcats over Michigan State, Miami (OH)

The Arizona Wildcats landed the commitment of a big-time linebacker in Jalen Cochran. The 6-4 235lb prospect hails from Canton, MI and held offers to Iowa, Iowa State and Michigan State, among others. On Tuesday night, he released via Twitter that his final two schools were Arizona and Miami (OH), visiting their campus on December 4th.

Arizona came into the recruiting process fairly late, offering him on January 26th, getting him on campus just three days later. On February 1st, the Michigan State Spartans rolled in with an offer but came in too late, which is why they didn't make the list for Cochran.
