Rumors have been swirling for weeks that Casey Cochran, who will be a sophomore in the fall, had transferred to Masuk. Cochran is the son of former New London coach Jack Cochran.

Casey Cochran indeed enrolled in classes at Masuk two weeks ago, and is expected to play this season. Masuk won the Class L title in 2008, but suffered heavy graduation losses, including quarterback Bobby Baker.

Casey, 15, helped lead New London to the Class SS state title last fall. He took over as the Whalers' starting quarterback during mid-season.

Jack Cochran will not coach at Masuk this fall. He was fired as New London's football coach in April.
