BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — The Southeastern Conference announced Wednesday that Tennessee wide receiver Bru McCoy was named to the 2024 SEC Football Community Service Team.
The SEC names a Community Service Team for each of its 21-league sponsored sports, looking to highlight an athlete from each school who gives back to his community through superior service efforts.
One of Tennessee football’s most active community servants, McCoy is helping to make sudden cardiac arrest prevention, awareness and treatment a priority this season as he co-created Huddle for Hearts. Through Huddle For Hearts, his work provides AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators) to youth sports organizations – focusing primarily on underserved communities.
McCoy has helped facilitate multiple CPR training and demo seminars in the Knoxville community, and four AED machines have been donated to inner-city youth. He also hosted a charity golf tournament during the summer of 2024 to benefit the organization.
The redshirt senior earned his undergraduate degree in communication studies in August 2024 and is rounding out his third season with the Vols and sixth at the collegiate level this fall. He is a semifinalist for the 2024 Comeback Player of the Year Award and Jason Witten Collegiate Man of the Year and served as Tennessee’s nominee for the Wuerffel Trophy and AFCA Good Works Team.
McCoy started every game during Tennessee’s 10-2 regular season and led the Vols with 35 receptions, totaling 432 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
