Trevis McCoy knows this is it. The 6-foot-4, 310-pound offensive lineman from Ormond Beach, Fla. will have one season at L.A. Pierce Community College to make his dreams of playing Division 1 football a reality. McCoy spoke to FoxSportsNext.com on his renewed focus and challenges that await him at his next destination.
“I graduated from Calvary Christian Academy in 2010,” said McCoy. “I didn’t qualify academically, but had interest from Division One schools such as Marshall, Hawaii, Bowling Green among others. They recruited me up until they found out I wouldn’t make it as a qualifier. After high school I went on to Grand Rapids Community College in Michigan, but because of some paperwork issues I couldn’t play that year. After spending one year there and not being able to play the game I love, I thought about hanging up my cleats. So I decided to go home and have been attending Daytona State College ever since.”
