Film Analysis:
Trevor Keegan is one of the most decorated offensive linemen in this year's class. A two-time Joe Moore winner (first ever back-to-back) and a three-time All-Big Ten selection, Keegan epitomizes everything Michigan football has been the last several seasons.
When watching Keegan’s film, his power and strength is obvious. At the point of attack, he can seamlessly generate power with his hands and footwork and then climb defenders with his hips to displace them. When working on double teams as both a post and drive blocker, these same techniques come to fruition and make him one of the most effective zone/duo blockers in this IOL class.
For Keegan, perfecting his technique at the next level will consist of lowering his pad level and maintaining a strong posture throughout the phase of his block. On some occasions where he was beaten, Keegan would rise up off the snap, whereas you’d like to see him maintain more leverage, especially given his natural height which makes it more difficult. At the second level, Keegan is incredibly patient and collected. He frames up defenders well and stays composed against twitchy linebackers.
In pass protection, Keegan plays with strong instincts. His awareness and focus mask some of the physical disadvantages he faces from more athletic DL. This IQ becomes especially important against gap exchange stunts, where Keegan passes off and catches slanting and looping linemen very well. He plays aggressively, bringing the fight to his defenders with a quick and deliberate strike. He counters inside moves well with a strong catch hand and blends his short area quickness with his brute power to create an immovable force between the bumpers.
Keegan will be a serviceable lineman to stash on most NFL rosters at the next level. While he may not separate himself as a day-one starter, his skill set is what every offensive line segment needs in their room.
