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.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
