| '13 IL OL Colin McGovern
6'7" 280 offensive tackle prospect from New Lenox, IL, that goes to Lincoln-Way West High School. The Vols offered today per Tim O'Halloran's twitter (@EdgyTim). His only other offer right now is Northwestern, so the Vols are on him early. Rivals Profile |

Part of article. Looks like Pitt doing work:
The Volunteers were in the school and McGovern says his contact with his area recruiter to this point has him high on the staff.
"Coach Sam Pittman [is my recruiter] and he seems like a straight shooter, He gave me all the facts and I liked what I heard."

| Says Coach Pittman dropped by the school this week and offered before leaving. Also added an Illinois offer this week. Says he doesn't know a lot about Tennessee, but knows it's a "great school with a ton of tradition", and loves the fact that it's in the SEC. Plans on taking a visit at some point. Story | |

But glad we are on this kid early. Pittman doing work... | |

The man seems to have connections everywhere. The experience he has had recruiting in the Carolinas undoubtedly stands out, but he has considerable experience in the Midwest, as well. Particularly in the Chicagoland area from his time with NIU.
Getting this kid on campus sometime this spring or summer should go along way towards the Vols staying in the thick of this thing. I'd guess Northwestern has the edge right now because of the academic side of things, but get him down to Knoxville and let him see the atmosphere for himself and things change in a hurry. | |

| First in from the SEC on Midwest kids is usually a very good thing. With one orange blooded TN recruit already in the fold, if this one could be added down the road Pitt would be making his job a whole lot easier in the future. Need to pick up a top center in 2013 as well. |

There is a great group of offensive linemen in Illinois for 2013, and I consider McGovern to be right there with them even though he doesn't have as much national attention as some of them right now. Northwestern offered first, but recently Illinois, West Virginia and Tennessee jumped in. The ball is rolling. Expect it to keep going for this 6'7, 280-lber who finishes blocks strong on tape.

| Offers now include Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan and West Virginia to go along with Northwestern, Illinois and Tennessee. 24/7 Sports also now ranks him as a four-star. | |

| He got a Notre Dame offer today. That could be tough for them to overcome, but he is still tentatively scheduled to be in Knoxville in early-March. | |
