Bru McCoy sent a message to supporters after undergoing season-ending surgery.

The Tennessee wide receiver suffered a gruesome ankle injury during Saturday’s win over South Carolina. Tennessee shared a statement McCoy originally posted on his Instagram Stories following Sunday’s successful procedure.

“I want to thank every single individual who has taken the time to check in on me, share words of encouragement, or simply show their support. It means the world to me,” McCoy wrote. “I’ll be back, stronger, healthier, and more hungry than ever. Till then Go Damn Vols.”

The USC transfer registered 52 catches for 667 yards and four touchdowns with the Volunteers last season. He began 2023 with 217, including 21 before getting carted off the field Saturday after fracturing and dislocating his ankle.

Per WBIR Sports, quarterback Joe Milton said McCoy’s injury left him at a “loss for words.” Head coach Josh Heupel also responded to the gutting blow.

“There’s nobody better than him,” Heupel said of McCoy. “Great teammate. Great leader. Tough as they come. Works extremely hard to be his best and makes sure his teammates do that, too.”

The team’s statement praised McCoy’s “unwavering toughness, character, and leadership” while looking ahead to the 23-year-old making a successful comeback.
