Report: McCoy Says He’ll Return For Senior Year
He has until January to decide, but quarterback Colt McCoy says he’s already made up his mind to return to the University of Texas for his senior season.
“I’m going to play here for four years,” the junior, a favorite to win the 2008 Heisman Trophy, told the Sporting News. “I’ve been blessed to get to play here. Not very many people get to (start) here for four years, so what an opportunity.”
McCoy is having a big season, completing 81.2 percent of his passes for the top-ranked Longhorns and piling up 19 touchdown passes, but opinions vary widely on where he might be selected if he declares for the 2009 NFL Draft.
“He is not the premier NFL prospect you would expect,” one scout told the magazine. “He has an adequate arm to make most NFL throws but does not show the very strong arm to fit the ball into tight spots consistently in the NFL.”
