Scouting Report
McGuire is a recruit whose profile has exploded over the last month, with offers pouring in from a variety of Power 5 programs. His offer from Minnesota came after the coaching staff was able to evaluate him in person at a TCU camp. McGuire is a unique recruit in that he is new to football and will actually be getting his first experience at offensive line this fall, having played defensive last season. Obviously the Gophers are betting on his upside. He certainly has the size, athleticism, length, and bend to grow into a Big Ten offensive tackle.
