Top WR recruit McCoy transferring from Texas

Top 2019 recruit Bru McCoy is transferring for the second time in four months, announcing Friday that he is leaving Texas to "return home."

McCoy, ESPN's top wide receiver and No. 27 overall player in the 2019 class, confirmed his transfer in a statement to 247 Sports, and Texas also confirmed his departure.

Although McCoy didn't mention USC, he is expected to rejoin the Trojans, the team he signed with in December before transferring to Texas. McCoy is from Santa Ana, California, and attended area powerhouse Mater Dei High School.

He participated in spring practice at Texas but had considered transferring in recent weeks.
