Bru McCoy, a 5-star athlete who signed a letter of intent on Jan. 6 to play with USC, reportedly will instead transfer to Texas.
Yahoo Sports' Pete Thamel reported Friday McCoy will start taking classes at Texas next week after being admitted to the school and signing a financial aid agreement.
Per 247Sports, McCoy had 25 offers and made visits to USC, Texas, Alabama and Washington. He chose USC but entered the NCAA transfer portal on Jan. 24.
Chris Swansonof usc247.com offered reported rationale behind McCoy's decision making:
"McCoy was all set to commit to Texas before the 2019 All-American Bowl but was convinced to commit to USC by former Trojan offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury at the last minute.
