2016 FOOTBALL RECRUITING ISSUE rolled in Ann Arbor and going through offseason conditioning — and spring practice — which should help him shape his body and mind for the up- coming season. Limited playing time is a possibility. THEY SAID IT • Tight Ends Coach Jay Harbaugh: "Sean is a very intelligent, hard-working guy who is nowhere near reaching his potential as a football player, and he is willing to work hard to develop into a complete player. Sean has above-aver- age explosiveness and is an outstand- ing bender for his size. "He has the unique athletic ability to be able to do a lot of different things in our offense. What he has done in the classroom in high school proves that Sean is willing to study and be a com- plete football player and student. That means a lot at our position because we demand a lot from our tight ends." • Rivals.com Mid-Atlantic Recruiting Analyst Adam Friedman: "McKeon is a good natural athlete but hasn't had a chance to show what he's capable of thanks to the scheme he plays in at his high school. He's a good blocker and has flashes of being able to get open downfield, but will need some time to adjust to a higher level of play." • Tom Lemming Of Prep Football Re- port: "He's one of the top two players in Massachusetts. He's got real good size and is a winner, a gamer, a kid that does whatever he's told. He can run, catch and block, and for a tight end, that's what you need to have. He's not one of those guys that gets split out all the time."
