Buford High School’s Nascar McCoy has swiftly become one of the most talked-about recruits in Georgia’s Class of 2026. Previously known as Nassir McCoy, he recently made headlines by legally changing his name to “Nascar,” a nod to his exceptional speed on the fields.
Standing at 6’2″ and weighing 175 pounds, McCoy is a versatile safety who excels in both man and zone coverage. His junior season was marked by multiple interceptions and pass breakups, showcasing his football IQ and playmaking ability.
The University of Georgia has been actively pursuing McCoy, leveraging the influence of his cousin and former teammate, KJ Bolden, who is already committed to the Bulldogs. McCoy credits Bolden and Georgia’s safeties coach, Travaris Robinson, as key figures in his recruitment.
Despite Georgia’s efforts, McCoy is also considering offers from other top programs, including Ohio State, Alabama, and Michigan. His recruitment remains one of the most closely watched in the nation.
As McCoy continues to develop, his decision will significantly impact the defensive landscape of whichever program he chooses.
