"We are aware of the situation, and USC’s Office for Equity, Equal Opportunity, and Title IX is reviewing it," said USC Athletics in a statement obtained by 247Sports. "Because of federal student privacy laws, we are unable to share additional information at this time. The student-athlete has been temporarily removed from team activities.”

McCoy was set to return for year three with the Trojans as one of the team's top targets. With the loss of veteran receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown and Tyler Vaughns, USC was expected to lean on McCoy and the highly athletic Drake London to lead their receiving core. 

Last year, McCoy finished the 2020 season with 21 receptions for 236 yards and two touchdowns. He appeared in all six games for the Men of Troy. USC begins their 2021 fall camp on Friday, Aug. 6, but with the current state of McCoy's legal battles, his return to the football field could be doubtful.
