McDonald established himself among Nevada’s top TE prospects with his breakout season for the 5A state champs. The 6’1″/215 junior totaled just under 500 receiving yards and 9 TDs on 41 catches last fall. He’s a strong, physical target that can use his body to fight through contact and offers high-upside athleticism for the position. He’s often deployed in the slot with the receiving ability he brings to the table but shows his power and physicality when called on to block. He’s a technical route-runner, possesses the length and body control to extend his frame, and can make plays after the catch. McDonald is one of the top receiving threats among Nevada’s TEs.
