Cochran became the first Spartan title winner since Neil Hanley in 1982 at the NJSIAA State Championships last March with a buzzer-beating finish.
He is a two-time NJ State Placer (8th, 1st), NHSCA Junior National Champion, 2016 Super 32 Champion, 2016 Journeymen Fall Classic Finalist, 2015 Beast of the East Placewinner (4th), Greco/Freestyle Fargo All-American and is ranked 8th in Bergen Couny at 160 pounds via InterMat Wrestling High School rankings.
Cochran and Bergen Catholic's Nick Suriano, who finished his undefeated career (159-0) with four state titles, were honored by Paramus officials with a street sign in Jockish Square depicting their names.
“Kyle proved he is one of the nation's best his junior season," UMD Wrestling Coach Kerry McCoy said in a statement.
"He loves a challenge and does a great job rising to the occasion.”
