We’ve had a bit of a theme with versatile players, so I’ll continue with a two-way prospect in Lincoln Northeast’s Julian McDonald Julian McDonald 6'0" | 170 lbs | WR/DB Lincoln Northeast | 2027 State NE . Playing receiver and DB, Julian recorded seven receptions, 220 receiving yards, three receiving touchdowns, 29 tackles, two fumble recoveries, and an interception. On offense, Julian is a dynamic receiver who averaged 30 yards per reception and can do it as a deep threat or through big YAC gains. Julian has underrated game speed and burst off the line, which helps him get vertical quickly and take the top off the defense. McDonald is also very twitchy and can take advantage of that on quick screens, where he can make defenders miss in space, and he has the acceleration to outrun good tackling angles. Willing blocker in the run game. Defensively, Julian showed he’s willing to get physical at the line of scrimmage, jam receivers, and recover quickly enough to stick to their hip pocket. Good hands and ball skills to challenge receivers at the catch point.
