McKoy would have been a redshirt junior this year. He was a significant contributor last year, had 8 starts and 18 games played in two years and was in on 53 tackles with 7 pass break ups.
Here's how Jack Carle analyzed it:
There has been an intense competition for playing time at cornerback and McKoy had dropped to the third team and was the fifth cornerback overall.
Cameron Truss is the starter at the boundary corner while Darrell Hunter and Aaron Foster are competing for the field corner spot. Will Watson is the fourth corner.
Most of those starts came as a freshman. He started only one game last season, based on info at the BGSU website.
In the article, Coach says they would like to have kept him because of the importance of depth and for special teams but respected his desire to start somewhere.
I would guess this is something that happens as you have more depth. If people want playing time and you have a lot of good players, you can't always assume that everyone is going to sit and wait and be your depth. You have to play your best players and if that happens then I guess it is the right kind of problem to have.
