Jermod McCoy

Player Summary

McCoy is a toolsy outside CB who transferred from Oregon State to Tennessee, posted elite production in 2023-2024 (16 PBU, 6 INT) including a team-leading 13 PBU and 4 INT at Tennessee before suffering an ACL tear in January training that cost him the entire 2025 season. Possessing a long, explosive frame from his triple/long-jump background, he shows smooth hips, quick feet, fluid transitions, and confident recoveries to match releases, gather on comebacks, and overlap routes in zone while tracking the ball like a receiver and finishing strongly at the catch point with length to contest 50-50 balls. Weaknesses include average acceleration that leaves him chasing verticals, struggles maintaining phase against speed, grabbing under duress, insufficient press physicality, indecision on zone handoffs, and drag-down tackling without big hitting power. His pre-injury tape screams first-round lockdown CB1 potential if he regains explosiveness.
