Freshman Season

In his debut for the Longhorns, McCoy recorded 5 tackles and 1 sack. It was a solid start to his collegiate career. The Longhorns finished that season 10-3 behind a defense that was lead by the freshman Blade McCoy.

Sophmore Season

After the senior linebackers left for the draft, it was left to McCoy to be the captain of this defense. They started off rough losing game after game due to the poor offensive unit but McCoy still was dominating opposing offenses in the Big 12. McCoy was not happy with his team's performance, finishing the season 5-8 even with his stellar performance on the defense.

Junior Season

Following the disappointing season, the Longhorns still attracted many top athletes which boosted the team's offense. McCoy now had a supporting offense and he still had a very solid defense. The team went on to finish the season with a 10-3 record. McCoy had won the Dick Butkus Award f or his outstanding performance during the season.

Senior Season

Even though there were rumors about McCoy leaving Texas to enter the draft, he stayed because his parents believed in the importance of education and he wanted to make his parents happy by bringing home a degree. The reigning Dick Butkus winner dominated again in the Big 12, this time leading the team to a 12-1 record. For his efforts, McCoy won another Dick Butkus Award.
