Cohen was All-PSAC East first team as a junior and senior and second team as a sophomore. Last season, when the Golden Rams advanced to the second round of the NCAA Division II playoffs and finished 11-2, he was named third team Don Hansen Football Gazette All-Super Region One, All-ECAC, and Philadelphia Inquirer Academic All-Area. Prior to this season, Cohen was named preseason first team USA Football Network All-American. After leading the entire PSAC with 13.5 sacks for 91 yards and 20.0 tackles for loss this season, he was also named PSAC East Defensive Athlete of the Year. His 1.23 sacks/game is good for fifth in the country and he set the career PSAC sack record with 33.5. Cohen is also a finalist for the Gene Upshaw Award which is presented to the top lineman in Division II football.

(Photo Bert Garbutt)The country is divided into four regions and the sports information directors from each region voted to get to the current field. Regional voting, which ends November 30, narrows the field to two players from each region. Those eight players are then placed on the national ballot. The winner will be announced via a webcast on December 18 and the Harlon Hill Trophy Presentation will take place at a luncheon on January 8 in Florence, AL.
The eight candidates from Super Region I are:
- RB Andre Anderson - New Haven
- DE Andrew Cohen - West Chester
- RB Shamar Greene - Slippery Rock
- QB Jeremy Johnson - Charleston
- QB Connor Simmons - Clarion
- QB Matt Soltes - East Stroudsburg
- QB Lenny Williams - Indiana
- QB Jeff Ziemba - Shepherd
