Name: Jimmy Mckenna
Position/Size: Offensive Tackle, 6’5”, 260 Pounds
Rankings: 3*
Other Offers: West Virginia, Rutgers, Pittsburgh, NC State, Minnesota, Michigan State, Kentucky, IU, Illinois, Cincinnati
Impact: Jimmy is legit.
Jimmy is mean.
Jimmy is athletic.
Jimmy will be a great offensive lineman for. While he is a little thin right now, he will get 30 pounds heavier and maintain his athleticism. McKenna has extremely long arms and is a great pass blocker.
He is also mean, he can clear a path for the running backs if need be. McKenna is going to be a great OL for us. As you can see, with his plethora of power 5 offers, many other teams believed that as well.
We have one hole on the offensive line, with grad transfer Dave Steinmetz leaving. Perhaps Jimmy can come in and fill that hole at right tackle, but who knows.
Take a look at his highlights.
Welcome aboard, Jimmy. Boiler Up!
