USC wide receiver Bru McCoy will not face criminal charges for his July arrest after the L.A. County District Attorney’s office declined to pursue the matter further due to insufficient evidence, the Los Angeles Times’ Ryan Kartje reported Wednesday.
McCoy has been “temporarily removed from team activities” with the Trojans since sometime after his July 24 arrest on suspicion of intimate partner violence.
Kartje’s report included a statement from McCoy’s attorney.
McCoy, a redshirt sophomore, projected to be one of USC’s top receivers this season. It remains unclear what this will mean for his status with the program.
USC released the following statement Wednesday night regarding the matter: “USC’s Office for Equity, Equal Opportunity, and Title IX is handling this matter, and the student’s status with the team is unchanged.”
