Dylan CozensI’ve decided it’s time to chase my dream of playing in the <a href="https://twitter.com/NFL?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NFL</a>. I want to thank the <a href="https://twitter.com/Phillies?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@phillies</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/RaysBaseball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@RaysBaseball</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/Brewers?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Brewers</a> organizations for giving me the opportunity to play professional baseball but more importantly the people, experiences, and memories I’ll keep forever.
Cozens was a 3-star prospect at strong-side defensive end in the high school class of 2012, per 247Sports. The Chaparral High School (Scottsdale, Arizona) standout had offers from Washington, Boise State, Missouri and Utah before signing with Arizona.
