ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — One of Michigan’s top recruits, guard Brandon McCoy Jr., will miss the 2026-27 season for the defending national champion Wolverines after suffering a right knee injury.

New Michigan coach Mike Boynton Jr. announced on Tuesday that McCoy suffered an ACL injury to his right knee.

McCoy was ranked as the No. 14 prospect in the country by 247Sports. Michigan announced McCoy suffered the injury early in Michigan’s tour finale against KK Mega SUPERBET in Montenegro.

McCoy averaged 14.5 points, five rebounds and four steals in the Wolverines’ first two games of their European Tour in Lithuania. He had 15 points and five rebounds against the Lithuania National B Team after scoring 14 points with five rebounds and four steals in his Michigan debut against the Lithuania National Team.
