What they had to say about him: "McCoy has only two years of tape to work with, as he sat out the 2025 season after tearing his ACL last January. His lone season at Tennessee in 2024 was outstanding, showcasing the totality of his 77-inch wingspan with seven pass breakups and four interceptions. He is a confident man-to-man coverage player with terrific balance, patience and ball skills.
"McCoy is at his best blanketing perimeter wideouts who want to stretch the field vertically; he's a big-play neutralizer on his own. Until he works out for scouts at his pro day, it's going to be difficult to peg where he actually gets picked. But right now, I've got him tapped as the top cornerback in this class." — Field Yates, ESPN
How he stacks up: Yates lists McCoy as the No. 15 overall player in the class and his top cornerback, right ahead of LSU's Mansoor Delane at No. 16.
McCoy comes in 15th on NFL media analyst Daniel Jeremiah's Top 50 as Jeremiah has Delane ranked ahead of him as his No. 9 prospect.
ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. and Yates have McCoy as the top cornerback in the class. Fellow ESPN draft analysts Matt Miller and Jordan Reid have McCoy as the second-best cornerback available after Delane.
