McCoy Leaves Illinois State as a Tackling Machine with Big-Play Bite
LaVoise-Deontae McCoy finished his Illinois State run as a proven, high-volume linebacker: in the 2024 season he started all 12 games, ranked fourth in the MVFC with 107 tackles, and added 10.0 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks.[2][6] He is the kind of fit you want if you need a tone-setter in the middle—physical, productive, and disruptive, with the instincts to flash in coverage too, as shown by his 2023 season line of 74 tackles and two interceptions.[2][6]
