an impact, preseason All-American linebacker with proven pass-rush juice
McCoy Casey is one of Southeast Missouri State’s defensive centerpieces, earning preseason All-America recognition in 2025 and again in 2026 after a breakout 2024 season and a shortened 2025 campaign limited to four games by injury.[11][14] In 2024, he posted 61 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, and five sacks, showing the kind of backfield disruption that separates good linebackers from game-changers.[3][4] He brings production, physicality, and a positive presence that teammates and coaches say lifts the defense around him.[3] If healthy, he fits as a high-impact, tone-setting linebacker for a team that wants edge, energy, and splash plays.
