Ryan McDonough Ryan McDonough 5'10" | 180 lbs | ATH Desert Mountain | 2026 State AZ was the game‑wrecker, plain and simple — the kind of defender who doesn’t just show up on film, he takes over the entire rhythm of a championship game. He was everywhere: blowing up protections, triggering downhill with zero hesitation, and flying around with that violent, relentless style that translates no matter which side of the ball he’s on. He ended up taking home the defensive MVP, and then still turned around and gave Desert Mountain a huge edge in field position with 114 kick‑return yards — including a big one that didn’t even count. That’s the part that separates him: he’s not just a defensive problem, he’s a tone‑setter and a momentum thief, the guy who drags a game in his direction with pure energy.
