He was selected to both the 2012 and 2013 USHL/NHL Top Prospects Game, and in his final season McCoshen was further recognized for his outstanding play when he was named to the 2012-13 USHL First All-Star Team.

McCoshen got off to a good start in his NCAA campaign at Boston College with a 13 point year as a top defensemen for the Eagles. He scored BC's first goal of the season and was on SportsCenter's Top-10 plays for his goal-saving effort in a game against Minnesota. He also earned rookie of the week honors for his game winning goal against UMass Lowell during the NCAA tournament. McCoshen played at the 2014 World Juniors for the United States.

At the completion of his junior year with the Eagles in 2015–16, McCoshen concluded his collegiate career in signing a three-year entry-level contract with the Florida Panthers on June 19, 2016.
