Draft Profile: Bio
Jermod McCoy from Whitehouse High School was rated a 3-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 3-star grade by 247 Sports. Following high school, McCoy opted to join Oregon State.In 2023 as a freshman McCoy saw action in 11 games and played a total of 410 snaps at cornerback for the Beavers. He recorded 21 tackles, 8 assists, while adding 3 stops. In coverage McCoy notched up 6 pass breakups, 2 interceptions, and QB rating when targetted of 97.8.
After the end of the season he transferred to Tennessee where as a sophomore for the Volunteers in 2024 McCoy played in 4 games and logged 158 snaps for the Volunteers. He made just 9 tackles, 2 assists, and had 3 stops. In coverage he totaled 3 pass breakups, one interception, and an elite QB rating when targetted of 30.2.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Explodes out of his backpedal and has the hands and coordination to force interceptions.
- Exceptionally quick, with the feet and fluidity to mirror underneath, including in the slot against the two-way go. McCoy stays low in his backpedal and explodes toward the ball, with an outstanding closing burst.
- Has a nice blend of length, speed, and quickness. He’s at his best mirroring routes underneath, showing fluid movement skills and the ability to change directions on a dime.
- Plays with the natural balance and ultra-quick feet to mirror underneath, and he’s tremendous at reading routes and reading quarterbacks.
- Very aggressive attacking receiver blocks and tackles like a safety.
- His length and leaping ability allow him to high-point the ball and make plays. McCoy would have had bigger interception numbers in college had opposing quarterbacks not gone out of their way to avoid him.
- He’s excellent in run support, a physical hitter who could also get a look at safety
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Questionable technique and McCoy gets lazy with fundamentals, sometimes getting high in his backpedal and will breach the coverage call seeking flashy plays
- Gave up far too many big plays in college, especially concerning since he has recovery speed to make up for missteps.
- Despite his size, he’s not an overly physical tackler. McCoy might have to add some weight at the next level in order to become more physical.
