McDonald posted double-digit tackle totals three times during the OVC schedule, including a career-best 13 tackles at Southeast Missouri.

For his career, the two-year starter has 188 tackles, 18.5 tackles for loss, and 3.5 sacks. He’s picked off two passes and broken up six more while recovering two fumbles and forcing another. He has seven total double-digit tackle contests as a Gov.

First-team Academic All-District® honorees advance to the CoSIDA Academic All-America® ballot. First- and second-team Academic All-America® honorees will be announced in early July.
