Bru McCoy leads Tennessee football with 35 receptions for 432 yards and two touchdowns this season. The senior is doubtful at Vanderbilt.

NASHVILLE — Tennessee redshirt senior wide receiver Bru McCoy is doubtful for Saturday afternoon’s game at Vanderbilt due to a hamstring issue that flared up during pregame. McCoy was dressed for pregame but was a bystander on the field at FirstBank Stadium and did not play on Tennessee’s first two possessions.

But since arriving in Knoxville, McCoy has experienced not just athletic growth but also personal transformation. The city, the fans, and his teammates have become more than just a chapter in his football career.
