Player Bio
McCoy was not highly recruited despite earning second-team all-state honors at Lufkin High School in Texas. Aggies coaches saw enough to give him a scholarship, however, and he worked himself into a three-year starter. He redshirted in 2015 before earning the starting center spot for all 13 contests in 2016. McCoy started all 13 games for A&M in 2017, as well, 11 at center and two at guard. He was a team captain in 2018, again starting all 13 games in the middle of the offensive line called the "Maroon Goons."
Analysis
By Lance Zierlein NFL Analyst
Draft Projection Round 2
NFL Comparison Corey Linsley
Overview
Teams typically hunt for centers with the traits to withstand power or athleticism depending on their divisional competition. McCoy comes gift-wrapped in a thick, strong frame and proved he could hold up to both power (Dexter Lawrence) and athleticism (Quinnen Williams). He has some limitations in space, but he possesses more than enough body control and agility to compete on work-ups and cut-off blocks. With his ability match against base and sub-packages, McCoy could carry Day 2 draft value as a future starter.
Strengths
Good girth in rear and legs with well-built arms
Started all three-seasons at Texas A&M
Solid performances against talented interior defenders from Clemson and Alabama
Unlocks and snaps hips into angle blocks to seal gap
Body control to fit and stick to A-gap rushers
Generates some movement
Loose hips to bump and climb to tough angles
Good effort to maintain leverage/positioning on lateral blocks
Possesses pop in well-timed punch
Re-sets hands with "boxing" ability in pass sets
Plays with good stickiness in pass mirror
Low center of gravity with strong rush anchor
Meets and absorbs upfield charge with plus contact balance
Weaknesses
Lack of length limits ability to sustain move blocks
Base gets too wide in some pass sets
Plays with some forward lean into pass mirror
A little slow with head swivel when scanning in pass pro tection
Has to stay patient rather than lunge at target
Inside arm wraps around second-level linebackers
Average athleticism in space
Below-average pull quickness
