The Tennessee Vols are continuing to look for defensive back help in the NCAA transfer portal which is why they extended an offer to Oregon State defensive back Jerod McCoy on Wednesday.
According to VolQuest, McCoy is visiting Tennessee on Wednesday.
Oklahoma, Oregon, and Texas A&M are among the programs pursuing McCoy.
McCoy is a former four-star recruit who just completed his true freshman season at Oregon State. He totaled 31 tackles, seven pass break-ups, and two interceptions in 2023 (impressive for a true freshman).
The 6-foot/180 lb cornerback is from Whitehouse, TX and he attended the same high school (Whitehouse) as two-time NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes (which has no impact on how McCoy plays, but it's a fun fact nonetheless).
After seeing extensive action as a true freshman, McCoy could be an instant starter for the Vols at a big position of need.
This is certainly a player to monitor if you're a Tennessee fan. Considering the need in the secondary, the Vols would be wise to open up the NIL checkbook to do what they can to bring McCoy to Rocky Top.
Former Vols star could become a head coach a year earlier than expected
He could be in a high profile job in 2024
