Michigan State head coach John L. Smith was known for utilizing the tight end in his offense at Louisville. McGovern believes that will continue.
"The tight end is going to be a huge part of their offense," he said. "They think I can catch 60 balls a year and that's what I want."
McGovern also had offers from Ohio State, Nebraska, Maryland, Northwestern, Boston College, Purdue and Souther Cal amongst others.
"I took trips to Northwestern, Nebraska, Purdue, OSU, Maryland and some other place," he said. "But MSU felt like home. It's the best fit for me overall."
McGovern will take his official visit to Michigan State on Nov. 28 and isn't considering any other schools.
