Connor McGovern is a strong man and a veteran, prepping to start at his 3rd position

Fullback U: Connor McGovern has essentially locked up the job of left tackle through Mizzou's first scrimmage, and it doesn't sound like A.J. Ricker or Josh Henson have any concerns or notions of changing their minds.Initially, I was adamantly against this move, but as we've progressed through camp, I've begun to think it's a solid move and shores up the biggest weakness on the offensive line.

McGovern may struggle with speed rushers, but he'll never struggle against strong guys. If Mizzou runs as much as we expect them to, having him at left tackle will allow Mizzou to balance which side of the line they want to run toward.
