We knew coming into the event that McCoy is a good prospect. But what we found out during the week of practice and during the Under Armour All-America Game is how versatile of a player he is.

Standing at 6-foot-7, 250 pounds, the Mississippi native looks the part of a classic defensive end. He plays with good leverage and has a heavy punch to knock tackles off-balance.

But his ability to stand up and rush the passer off the edge will put him in contention to play early and often at LSU. You don’t see a player his size moving that well in space.

Why follow recruiting just to cry and whine all the time? I don't understand some of yall on here, oh he'll never sign he wants money, no loyalty these days.. lol Same song and dance must be a miserable existence. As if you would stay at a job paying significantly less than another that's offering you. Where's your loyalty? Or I guess that's somehow different huh

CLASS OF 2026

McCoy was at the Rivals Five-Star over the summer but didn’t do a whole lot because of a nagging shoulder injury. That was disappointing because the 2026 four-star defensive end looked like a million bucks and we really wanted to see what he was capable of against some of the best offensive tackles nationally.

We had to wait a little longer through his junior season but the Tupelo, Miss., standout was awesome at the Under Armour All-America Game. McCoy is all of 6-foot-7 and 250 pounds, he moves and bends incredibly well off the edge and he was super productive all week in practice and during the game.

There were some Julius Peppers comparisons thrown around which might be a little premature and before we crown him with a five-star rankings, we do want to see McCoy in more settings putting up these types of performances but he has all the physical traits - and now the performance - to be in that five-star talk.
