"In 2024, McCoy transferred to Tennessee and he immediately became a full-time starter. He started all 13 games, led the Vols with nine passes defended and four interceptions, and finished with 44 tackles. He also returned punts with six returns for 59 yards. He allowed only one touchdown during the regular season on 640 snaps, and two of his interceptions were in the end zone and prevented touchdowns."
"Elite ball skills and finishing at the catch point. Thanks to previous wide receiver experience he tracks the ball just like a receiver and plays with strong hands. Explosive first step and twitch, including when changing direction. Loose and oily hips and natural route-mirroring ability in man coverage. Press capability. Body type and play strength to disrupt releases plus comfort hand-fighting throughout the route."
"His issues in the 2025 season were all injury-driven. He sustained a nasty and complex ACL injury while training in January, with Tennessee then carefully managing the rehab process. There was some periodic late-season optimism about a possible return, but he ultimately never got back on the field."
