2019 5-star ATH Bru McCoy has requested that his name be entered into NCAA Transfer Portal.

The past few weeks have been quite a whirlwind for Bru McCoy. The decision between Texas and USC had been made roughly two weeks before he announced it at the All-American Game on January 5th.

In speaking to sources close to Bru, it sounds like the decision to sign with USC was very much connected to the hiring of Kliff Kingsbury. Kingsbury brought an air of stability to a USC program that badly needed it. The sudden departure of Kingsbury for the NFL not only brought back the uncertainty around the program but may have exacerbated it.

Assuming McCoy does not remain at USC, Clay Helton promised Bru McCoy a release from his NLI last night. We fully expect whatever institution he ends up at to file a petition with the NCAA for McCoy’s immediate eligibility. I’m told that the likelihood of him being granted immediate eligibility is fairly high.

Obviously, Texas should be seen as the front runner in this continued recruitment given the status they held throughout McCoy’s recruiting process.
