This dude has played LIMITED snaps his entire career. Don’t think he is a shoe in to be an upgrade from St John
CDM Era: Transfer Portal and Recruits Thread
- Thread starter XFactorRebel
- Start date
His measurements screamed OG, which is fine by me!
You’d be right because they play different positions!
He could be a depth piece but he also will likely be better in the MWC than the ACC.
He was projected to be the starter at left guard coming out of spring practice for North Carolina. I'm not sure if he got injured or what happened but somewhere he lost his starting spot.
I had read an article that came out when he and another guy went into the portal. The other guy they said wouldn't be missed. But this lineman they considered a loss for the team. Like him or not I think he is going to help us
Here is what they said about him:
"McGowan spent four seasons in Chapel Hill, playing in 31 career games, seeing his most extensive action this season. He played a career-high 267 snaps on the offensive line this year, starting three games including playing full games against NC Central and Georgia Tech. He graded out incredibly well across the board according to Pro Football Focus, registering a 65.0 run block grade, a 78.2 pass block grade and a 67.1 overall grade. He allowed just two pressures the entire season and took just one penalty. He also was a major contributor on special teams, playing over 100 snaps there in each of the last two years."
"McGowan’s loss is the more significant of the two because of how productive he was this season and the depth the team has already lost there. "

Our O line can use more beef and he definitely provides that! I like it.
Man this board is getting spoiled... we have 2 good seasons and were like
"Meh, he wasn't a 4 year starter or didn't play at ACC/SEC school so we probably should've passed on him but he'll be a nice backup"..

For comparison, Charles Williams’s PR for the 100m was 10.63. Lexington Thomas ran it in 10.50. Kid is quick! He makes fast guys look not fast.
