Here is the official tweet announcing the news from the Kansas City Chiefs on Twitter:
Cochrane, who is a native of Mount Vernon, Iowa, played five years with the Coyotes in Vermillion.
Over the course of his career, the former Coyote compiled 327 tackles, 5 sacks, 6 interceptions, 3 forced fumbles, and 3 fumble recoveries.
Cochrane was a team captain over three different seasons as a Coyote, and was recognized as an All-American from several different media sources.
It's on to the next adventure now for Cochrane, who has officially been promoted to the Chiefs 53-man roster, and could very soon see the field for the historic franchise.
