One of Penn State’s top Offensive Line targets returned to campus on Friday. McKeogh is coming off a Penn State visit on April 10th. He followed that visit with one to South Bend to check out the Fighting Irish. However, getting McKeogh back for a spring practice before he goes on his official visits, is huge for Penn State.

“I thought it was really cool” McKeogh said. “You know, I mean, every time I go up there it just keeps getting better.” McKeogh added that getting to visit Penn State with his Dad was a big plus for him this time.

McKeogh clearly has the attention of the Penn State staff. “I think for me, what was special is just, each time we go up there, the coaches express more interest, but they’re the same people…” Said McKeogh. “These Coaches aren’t going to put on a face, to get the recruiting across. They’re not going to be like ‘oh guys act nice, we got a recruit coming’ it’s none of that… [James Franklin] is a really honest and respectable guy for that, all the coaches are.”

Penn State’s biggest threat is probably Notre Dame. McKeogh contrasted the two schools. “Obviously they’re both top notch, prestigious schools.” McKeogh noted. “Penn State, it’s a three hour drive versus Notre Dame, it’s a connecting flight… Penn State has definitely harped on the academic side of Penn State, the buisness school and all that kind of stuff, honoring the degree that you can get from there. But, you know, Notre Dame is also known for that.”

Academics will no doubt play a role in McKeogh’s recruitment, as he boasts a 4.1 grade point average.

McKeogh will likely decide on a school after his official visits. The hometown team, Penn State, is right in the thick of it for McKeogh.
