Sooners offer Oregon State transfer defensive back Jermod McCoy

Oklahoma joins a growing list of suitors for Oregon State transfer Jermod McCoy. McCoy had a terrific true freshman season.

Oklahoma has already been active in the [autotag]transfer portal[/autotag]. That activity will continue. The Sooners are one of the latest teams to offer Oregon State transfer cornerback Jermod McCoy.

On Tuesday, the talented cornerback announced he’d received an offer from the Sooners.

McCoy had an excellent season as he racked up 31 tackles, two interceptions, and seven pass deflections as a true freshman. He was a three-star recruit coming out of high school from Whitehouse, Texas. Now, he’s considered a four-star after his freshman season, according to 247Sports transfer portal rankings.

 

McCoy stands six feet tall and weighs 180 pounds. He’s a dynamic athlete with a high school track and field background that shows up on the field. Oklahoma received a significant boost in its secondary over the last few days with the return of Billy Bowman and a commitment from San Diego State transfer Dezjhon Malone.

Landing McCoy will not be easy. The competition is stiff. Florida, Texas A&M, USC, Washington, Oregon, Auburn and Arkansas are among the teams that have already offered the talented corner with three years remaining eligibility. Sooners cornerback coach Jay Valai will have his work cut out for him.
