Rivals $ - Irish check on McGowan

12/10

By Hare...ND was by his school last week...has played both guard and tackle...lifting and getting ready for track season.
 
I know this kid is a guard, and we really only need tackles, but we can't pass up on this kid IMO. He fires off the ball as good as any high school kid i've seen. His film is only about 5 or 6 plays, but that's all it takes for me. He's got great size, quickness, and excelent strength. I would LOVE to see him and Kalis line up next to one another.....

I always hate it when people suggest outlandish position changes, but could McGowan be a DT? particularly since our only true DT target at the moment is Schutt.
I've not seen any film on him at DT but I wouldn't be a bit surprised if he was a stud there too. He has that John Simon attitude on the O-line. Personally, I would like to see him on our O-line.

He was supposed to go both ways this past season, teaming with Michael Bennett at DT. However, for whatever reason the Centerville coaches just played him at OG.

Well since the world record for squat w/o equipment isn't even 1000 lbs....(per some quick google research)

I don't care what kind of "Beast" he is, that number ain't right!

BTW, even if his bench is 340, and his squat is about 600 (which I am assuming is more realistic). Those are some UNBELIEVABLE lifts for a kid who is 6'4 290 in high school

A teammate of mine in high school had a 815 lb squat. He was only 5-9 though.
