In relief, McDonald, a dual-threat quarterback from Ridgeland, Mississippi, went 6 of 11 for 80 yards and 1 touchdown and 1 interception. He also gained 94 yards on 13.4 yards per carry and a 23-yard TD run in the Tigers 41-13 win against the Jaguars on Dec. 7.
McDonald, who threw for 381 total yards, 5 TDs, and 1 interception over two seasons at Jackson State after transferring from FBS Louisiana, was a highly touted Mississippi prep football star at Ridgeland High School.
McDonald is the nephew of former New Orleans Saints Pro Bowl running back Deuce McAllister.
