Connor McGovern, OG-C, Penn State #66

6042, 323, 5.22

Notes: From Larksville, PA. Appeared in 13 games with 9 starts in 2016. Started all 13 games at center in 2017. Made 12 starts, including 11 at right guard and 1 at center, in 2018.

Positives: Nice size with above average mobility and quickness. Can get downfield and make blocks a the second level. Adept with hand placement and grades out consistently. Good technician. Maintains position and sustains blocks well. Good feel and awareness. Can anchor on pass protection. Has played guard and center.

Negatives: Absorbs blocks at times and lacks explosiveness off the snap. Isn’t as mean, nasty or punishing as you’d like at times.

Summary: Isn’t dominant, but steady and consistent. Should be able to start early at the next level.
