Bru McCoy temporarily removed from USC team activities following arrest

USC third-year wide receiver Bru McCoy has been temporarily removed from all team activities following an arrest last month on suspicion of felony partner intimate violence with injury.

McCoy was arrested on July 24th at 5:30 pm. The violation is listed under California Penal Code section 273.5(a), pertains to a person who “willfully inflicts corporal injury resulting in a traumatic condition” upon a spouse, former spouse, cohabitant or dating partner.

Per the Los Angeles Times, McCoy was released the same night on a $50,000 bail and is expected to appear in court on Nov. 24.

McCoy was a highly sought-after prospect from California powerhouse Mater Dei back in 2019. He had a roller coaster recruitment, signing and enrolling at USC before flipping and enrolling at Texas in early 2019 and then transferring back to USC within six months. This past season, McCoy caught 21 passes for 236 yards and was expected to emerge as a key contributor for the Trojan offense in the 2021 season.
