McCoy checks in at 6-3, 250 pounds and played in all 13 games for the Buffs this past season as a redshirt freshman. 

He recorded 23 total tackles, 19 of which were solo stops, including four sacks, four tackles for loss and two quarterback hurries.

Following the season, McCoy was tabbed All-Big 12 Honorable Mention Defensive Newcomer of the Year. 

The Cowboys recruited McCoy out of high school before he committed to Colorado. He finished his senior season as one of the best defensive players in the state, recording 97 total tackles, 16 tackles for loss, three force fumbles and four fumble recoveries.

He’s the sixth overall transfer commitment, joining Georgia State running back Freddie Brock, Emory and Henry (DII) receiver Cameron Abshire, Marshall wide receiver Christian Fitzpatrick, Appalachian State offensive tackle, Markell Samuel and South Carolina edge rusher, Wendell Gregory.
