FG-Based on some of your comments you either haven’t seen the kid play or you hold some type of grudge. This kid is a tremendous athelete with great hands. He led the nation in receiving by catching short, medium and long passes. His size has worked against him in recruiting, not his athleticism. Barring injury, he will be a productive college player. Tedford likes to redshirt his freshman to give them time to learn his system and mature physically. It wouldn’t surprise me at all to see McGovern on the field this season. I suspect the Wes Welker comment was in response to your Bigger, Faster, Stronger bias, but that wizzed right by you. Applaud the kid and his family and wish him well. Only a small percentage of high school players get to play at the D-1 level and he is one of them. Well done McGovern, well done!

FG – Lack of Athleticism? You know nothing about this kid and certainly have never seen him play or practice. Kid is a stud a tremendous athlete.

If you know nothing don’t comment.

uh trust me he is no wes welker not even close.
I’m happy for the kid I wish him and his family nothing but the best but his alck of athletiiism is why he is a walk on. it just kills me when all these bloggers make it sound as if he got screwed for not getting a sholarship offer when that’s far form the case.

Re: post 22, I agree Jimmy. Can you post the Cream of the Crop listings on here so we can get a discussion going? I subscribe to the paper and have a copy, but it would be much easier to refer to here if it was listed. Anyone who might be buying the print edition has already had their chance.

tedford did the kid a favor giving a prefered walk on status most overated Football player east bay has ever seen. No speed no height why should he have gotten. because he was in an offense who threw it to him a 100 times 5 yds a pop. lets be realistic. He will be a 4th string bakc up if that his college career.

Bryce McGovern is a flat out football player, the kid can play! Bryce doesnt have height that a lot of other players have but his work ethic makes up for it. Many other players i believe are over rated and get more credit than McGovern. for example G. Atkinson. Gets a lot of hype and publicity, he may be fast and athletic but he is soft. I would way rather have McGovern on my team..ANYDAY. He has great football instincts for the game, he plays with incredible heart and aggression. Bryce deserves this for all of his hard work. Congratulations!

McGovern not even a Cream of the Crop player. No props for him, Taft, Egan and Dunne. All very good players that should have been highly sought after at the next level. These players were the best at their posisitons for the last 2 years in a very competetive EBAL. Recruiters don’t always get it right!!
