McCoy Continues Dominant Play
Senior linebacker Rico McCoy continues to be a factor on the defensive side of the ball despite many of his position mates missing games due to injury. McCoy led the team in tackles for the fifth-straight game vs. South Carolina, posting 10 stops and adding two forced fumbles.
The Washington, D.C., native has notched doubledigit tackle efforts in three of his last four games and has led the team in stops 19 times in his career.
McCoy also has four forced fumbles through eight games, which ranks second nationally and atop the SEC.
He leads the team and ranks third in the SEC with 75 stops (9.3 per game) after posting 87 (7.3 per game) last season.
McCoy also reached the career 300-tackle mark vs. South Carolina. He has 306 in four seasons on Rocky Top and could climb into the all-time UT top 10 in total tackles with 26 more stops this season.
