Strengths
- Massive size, wide base, and a filled-out frame

- Sufficient agility, change of direction, and lateral quickness with good acceleration
- Plenty of experience pulling into space and climbing to the second level
- Skip-pull, did well to stay square to target while maintaining balance
- Turns tight corners to create seal - good agility in this area

- Solid ability and drive on down blocks
- Good overall play strength with sufficient pop on contact
- Good overall ability in power/gap and counter

- Tough player
Weaknesses
- Naturally is high which leads to leverage issues
- Chest gets over his toes too much when solo-zone run-blocking
- Could frame his blocks more advantageously while zone run blocking
- Struggled to frame Iowa’s Logan Lee in Conference Championship
- Not overly bendy as an athlete
- Can be slow into contact; when coupled with his high hat, this poses issues against squatty low-leveraged defenders
- Did lose reps against power rushes that attacked his inner half and pulled his momentum forward to set up subsequent moves
- Allows defenders to separate when in contact too frequently
- Only adequate hand strength
- Wish he had more pop on contact when kicking the EDGE out on counter
- This was evident against Alabama
- Could get more leg drive into contact, but gets stacked too often
- Almost exclusively used as a left guard
Summary
Trevor Keegan is a solid power/gap interior offensive lineman who is capable, smart, and tough in pass protection while possessing the balance and sufficient movement skills to operate in space. He’s not an elite athlete, and his grip strength is only average, but his presence of mind and effectiveness in pass protection are valuable assets for any team. With his experience kicking into space and pulling, he could be an option for the Giants in the middle rounds of the draft.
