McGovern started in 35 career games for the Nittany Lions, mostly at right guard or center. Last season, he spent a majority of the year at center. In 2018, he made the move to right guard.
McGovern was a member of an offensive line that paved the way for star running backs Saquon Barkley and Miles Sanders. He also protected Trace McSorley, who owns a number of Penn State records.
