T.J. McCoy – C

RS senior

Though he has yet to play a game in a Louisville football uniform, T.J. McCoy, the graduate transfer from Florida, could be a potential mid-to-late round pick in the 2020 draft. He’ll need to first prove that he can stay healthy, something he’s struggled with throughout his career in the SEC.

However, when he’s been on the field McCoy has been very good for the Florida Gators. McCoy started 17 games over his four-year career at Florida and was a huge part of the success across their offensive line.

Now at Louisville, he’ll be the elder statesmen of the offensive line and will be counted on by Dwayne Ledford to be the leader at center. If he’s able to stay healthy, and of course plays as he did during his time at Florida, McCoy could be a viable option for a team looking for a center.

His lack of games played might hurt him, but again, a year at Louisville where the offensive line takes a step forward with his leadership in the middle, that could be enough for a team to take a chance.
