A player that Vic Castillo Vic Castillo RB PA recommended for this article, a first rewatch of McCoy’s tape in quite a while and I can see why. He shows upside on both sides of the ball.

On the defensive side of the ball, he has a quality first step, sometimes it even is a great first step, consistently will have to improve in that matter. Hand fighting skills are promising as well and he does a great job of working his way into the backfield.

I think the offensive side of the ball is perhaps where he’s better suited. You get to see his athleticism a bit more there. He has several plays where his athleticism flashes on pulls and getting down field to set blocks. Solid foundation as a blocker, shows the ability to get leverage and get to the point of attack quickly. Also shows very good upper body strength on both sides of the ball, throwing his opposition to the ground multiple times. Has that bulldog mentality you look for, finishing blocks on offense and looking to drive people into the ground on defense.

I have a good feeling that Symauri McCoy Symauri McCoy 6'4" | 260 lbs | DL Beaver Falls | 2024 State PA will land inside the top 200 in our next update. His tape is that good, he’s got the accolades to back up this claim as well. McCoy earned Co-Lineman of the Year in his conference, a huge accolade to boast about. 7-minute tape shows how difficult it can be for opposing guards to not only match his strength but even lock arms against McCoy. The reps where McCoy is driven off the ball and steered are few and far between. This massive trench player will undoubtedly see interest on both sides of the ball. Good thing for McCoy, he’s already ahead of the curve. McCoy’s offensive line reps are equally as dominant as his IDL reps. Fun tape to watch. Potential is through the roof.
