Before the scheduled trip to Chestnut Hill, Cogshell had a midweek official visit to BYU.
Cogshell picks BYU over reported offers from Boston College, San Diego State, Colorado State, San Jose State, Washington State, and FCS programs.
Rising prospect in Southern California
BYU officially entered the conversation for Cogshell last month after he received a scholarship offer from Jernaro Gilford, who has strong connections in Southern California.
“Really nice pickup for BYU, not many edge rushers out West have a higher ceiling than Pasadena (Calif) Muir’s Cole Cogshell, strong, athletic, … and shows natural pass rush ability,” wrote 247Sports’ Greg Biggins on Cogshell on X.
