Twice named first-team all state, Cockrell led Joplin, Missouri's Parkwood High School Bears to a 31–3 record during his three years as starting quarterback. An outstanding athlete, Cockrell's could pass , run and even... kick . Cockrell led the Bears' offensive attack to an undefeated season and the Missouri State Class 4A High School Championship in 1980, despite being one of the smallest schools in Class 4A. That team has recently been inducted into the Joplin Area Sports Hall of Fame, alongside the likes of NASCAR's Jamie McMurray. Heavily recruited by several schools, he chose to attend the University of Tennessee.
