A McDonald’s All American and the No. 14 overall prospect in the class, per 247Sports’ composite, McCoy played for Team USA last summer and won the gold. In seven games, McCoy averaged 4.8 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game while shooting 88 percent on his 17 two-point attempts. His best game was a 13-point, seven-assist and four-steal effort vs Jordan in the Round of 16.
The highest ranked player in Michigan’s freshman class, McCoy announced his commitment to Michigan during halftime of the Fab Five broadcast of the Final Four vs Arizona. He is expected to play a major role during the 2026-27 season. McCoy is a versatile player that can play anywhere from the 1-3, and could even slot in as a starter this upcoming season at the wing spot.
McCoy is one of several players at this point that have reaffirmed their commitment to Michigan under interim head coach Mike Boynton Jr. Others that have confirmed they will stay in Ann Arbor include Elliot Cadeau, Trey McKenney, Moustapha Thiam, J.P. Estrella, Jalen Reed, Lincoln Cosby, Joseph Hartman and Malachi Brown.
The players that have yet to recommit to Michigan for next season are:
- PG L.J. Cason
- SF Ricky Liburd
- SF/PF Oscar Goodman
- PF/C Quinn Costello
- C Marcus Moller
