Bru McCoy celebrating his Tennessee Senior Day TD is something fans will love

Tennessee wide receiver Bru McCoy has found the endzone twice against UTEP. The fifth-year senior quietly led the Vols' receiving corps with 395 receiving yards coming into the UTEP game, but he hadn't scored a touchdown until Saturday. 

His first score came in the first half, and it notched the first time Bru found the endzone since his season-ending injury last season, so not only was it special for him to score again, but he did it on Senior Day in front of 100,000 family members in Neyland Stadium.

His celebration had all of Neyland fired up, and the SEC Network announcers didn't hesitate to call out the "cookie monster" to gift Vol Nation free cookies with his touchdown thanks to a local NIL deal. 

You can see Bru's impact on this team with how his teammates celebrate with him after the score. The first guys to greet him in the endzone are his offensive linemen, followed by a few more players who are just as excited that McCoy finally reached the checkerboards.

McCoy isn't a Tennessee native, nor did he commit to Tennessee out of high school, but Tennessee fans have embraced him as one of its all-time favorite VFLs. That's because Bru has embraced Tennessee and Rocky Top since arriving here from USC and can now confidently call Knoxville his home. 

No one deserves the kind of day Bru is having on Senior Day more than the cookie monster himself. He hasn't had more than 100 receiving yards in a single game this season, but he consistently shows up for Nico Iamaleava and the Tennessee offense every week, and he's finally being rewarded with two receiving touchdowns in his final game in Neyland Stadium. 

Thanks to Bru's big touchdown receptions, Tennessee is looking to get one step closer to making the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff. A win today could help the Vols get back into the top 12 and compete for a national championship.
