Jermod McCoy Transfers To Tennessee

The Tennessee Volunteers have added Oregon State corner transfer Jermod McCoy.

Jermod McCoy has officially announced his transfer to Tennessee. McCoy is a true freshman cornerback who played football this past season at Oregon State. He had 2 interceptions and 7 pass deflections on the season. He also had 31 tackles in his first season, as he and his team went 8-4 throughout the season.

He will be a great fit at Tennessee since it has become apparent that Tennessee has taken a youth route, primarily focusing on the younger group of athletes and bringing in transfers from the DB group. Tennessee has already landed Jakobe Thomas from Middle Tennessee State, and now the most recent transfer is Jermod McCoy. McCoy was Crystal Balled on Monday, December 18th, 2023, shortly after a visit to Tennessee that he took on the 13th. Since that visit, all signs have pointed to Tennessee in a positive manner. As of now, many expect Jordan Matthews and Rickey Gibson, as well as maybe even Kaleb Beasley, to get a good bit of snaps, but bringing a guy like Jermod in will be huge for Tennessee and this corner rotation. He holds good size, as he is around 6’0, 180 pounds, and is quick. The one thing that you can quickly notice about the Oregon State transfer is that he has big play ability. If he gets an interception, he will do anything and everything to turn up the field and put his team's offense in a better position. He is definitely someone you could line up on the outside or on the inside if needed, and he creates an open window for the other guys in the room to fill in where they fit best.

Overall, this is a huge pick-up for the Vols and will only help them move forward with this DB room. Tennessee has lost plenty of guys, including Tank, Kamal Hadden, Warren Burrell, Jack Luttrell, McDonald, and more, but landing a guy like McCoy will only make you better. It will be interesting to see how the transfer fits in and what role he can play early on.
