College Football Rumors: 5-Star Texas WR Bru McCoy Could Transfer Back to USC

Incoming Texas Longhorns freshman wideout and 5-star recruit Bru McCoy is reportedly considering a transfer back to the USC Trojans, according to Taylor Estes of 247Sports.

Per that report, "McCoy entering the NCAA transfer portal is a real possibility at this point." Estes added: "No concrete date is set for if or when this may happen. One source told Horns247 Sunday evening that if McCoy decides to proceed with seeking a transfer back to his home state, it could come down early this week."

According to Estes, "those close to McCoy are working tirelessly" to keep him with the Longhorns.

McCoy has played a game of hot potato with Texas and USC this year. He committed to the Trojans in January but decided to enter the transfer portal and join Texas after enrolling in classes at USC.

Chip Brown of 247Sports reported May 6 that McCoy "felt he was deceived by USC in more ways than [former offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury] appearing and then disappearing from the Trojans' coaching staff in the span of roughly one month."

McCoy had reportedly chosen the Trojans in part because of the presence of Kingsbury. However, he transferred to Texas after Kingsbury became the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals and participated in spring practice with the Longhorns.

Now, he is reportedly considering a switch back to USC.

Wherever he lands, McCoy has the talent to be an instant contributor. He was 247Sports' No. 9 overall player in the class of 2019 and was both the Maxwell Football Club's offensive national player of the year and MaxPreps' national player of the year.
