Report: McCoy to go pro

On Monday, Pitt coach Dave Wannstedt said he expected McCoy back next season. But citing unnamed family sources of McCoy, the Tribune-Review reported that McCoy will meet with Wannstedt today to announce his plans to leave. While still a sophomore at Pitt, McCoy played a season at Milford Academy in New Berlin, N.Y., thus making him three years removed from high school and eligible for the draft. Pitt spokesman E.J. Borghetti could not confirm whether McCoy was planning to leave. A two-time all-Big East selection, McCoy rushed for 1,488 yards and scored 21 touchdowns last season. He was the team’s second leading receiver. If McCoy does enter the draft, he’ll be the third Pitt player to leave early in the last four years. Larry Fitzgerald, who also had a year of prep school before attending Pitt, left the Panthers after his sophomore year and was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals with the No. 3 overall pick. Darrelle Revis left Pitt in 2006 and was the No. 14 pick of the New York Jets. McCoy would also be the fifth underclassman running back to declare for the draft this year. Ohio State’s Chris Wells, Georgia’s Knowshon Moreno, Connecticut’s Donald Brown and Iowa’s Shonn Greene all announced they would enter the draft. He’s expected to be a late first-round or early second-round pick.
