Two more Nittany Lions were named to award watch lists on Friday.
McGovern is on the watch list for the Rimington Trophy, which is given annually to the nation’s best center.
The Lake Lehman (Pa.) product started every game at center last season as a true sophomore. He rather seamlessly made the transition from guard to center and by the end of the season was one of the best center’s in the nation.
He begins his junior season as the anchor of what is expected to be the strongest offensive line unit for Penn State since Bill O’Brien’s first year at the helm.
