On offense, Cotman totaled 170 carries for 1822 yards and 33 touchdowns plus 98 catches for 1633 yards and 8 touchdowns. On defense, he piled up 108 tackles, 2 for loss, 3 interceptions, 28 pass breakups, 2 forced fumbles, 1 recovery, and 2 defensive scores.
Cotman (5-11, 173) helped the Marauders compile a 34-6 record over that span by doing as much as he possibly could.
"I'm very elusive, fast, quick, and precise with the ball in my hands," Cotman said. "Every day I try to get better at something, my route running is absolutely a big one. It all starts with getting the technique down. I try to pay close attention to detail because that helps make someone great."
Cotman would prefer to be a cornerback at the next level although he's fine with offense as well. He noted most programs are recruiting him for either running back or wide receiver.
The Hurricanes have been getting in the mix with Cotman more lately and head coach Mark Richt is a big factor in the equation.
"The new staff has been showing great interest and Coach Mark Richt is a great guy," Cotman said. "He came in from Georgia and my dad speaks highly of him. He told me how he's a great person and he loves God and I like that. I don't know yet how they run their offense and defense but I'm pretty sure I'll find out in a little bit."
Miami initially offered Cotman back in May and he visited for their game in October against Virginia Tech. He certainly considering them more seriously now though.
"It was very quiet with the old staff so it's been a big turnaround," Cotman said. "I absolutely have more attention on them now than I did before. My dad loves the Hurricanes and he said they were the best team in college football back in the day. Then they came back again not too long ago and they're trying to do it again. "
Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Michigan, Ohio State, Oregon, South Carolina, TCU, and Tennessee are among Cotman's 21 offers. He has only visited the in-state schools and doesn't intend to commit until signing day.
"I'm staying away from a leader, everybody is equal right now," Cotman said. "I just visited Florida last weekend and I think I'm going to Miami's junior day on February 20th. That's it but I discussed things with my dad and we're trying to see Michigan and Ohio State."
Cotman started landing scholarships as a freshman and there was never an avalanche all at once but they've continued to trickle in as recently as last month.
"The only thing I can think of is how it's a huge blessing," Cotman said. "I thank God for everything He has done for me and I'll try to make the best decision at the end of the day. Coach Davis let me play so much my freshman year and I could run with the big boys. Even though I was the youngest on the team, that got my name out."
Cotman is a four star prospect according to the 247Sports Composite, ranking him 6th in the nation at his position and 33rd overall in the state of Florida.
