A 1st team All-State and Blue Chip Illustrated All-American kicker out of DeMatha Catholic High School (MD), McDonald signed a full scholarship to Rutgers University from where he earned a B.A. in 1999 and a Master's in Psychology in 2002. The former Scarlet Knight is known for his booming kickoffs and 1999 game winning overtime field goal that upset the Syracuse Orangemen 24-21 in front of a national TV audience. A four-year kickoff specialist and two year starter, McDonald also garnered Special Teams Player of the Week honors twice during his career and was named to the Big East Conference All-Academic Team in 1998 and 1999.

McDonald then kicked for the Buffalo Destroyers of the Arena Football League and the Norfolk Nighthawks where he set several Arena 2 football kicking records including most field goals in one game (6) which earned him AF2 Special Teams Player of the Week honors. After serious injuries cut short his playing career, McDonald spent three years as an athletic academic advisor with the Rutgers University football program where he voluntarily coached kickers and punters. He is now a guidance counselor and assistant football coach at North Brunswick (NJ) High School. McDonald is a member of both the New Jersey and American Football Coaches Association and provides private training for many high school and college level players. He also speaks yearly at several coaching clinics including the Nike Football Coach of the Year Clinic. Not only is he widely regarded as a leading authority in the kicking game, McDonald's unique experience as a player, coach and high school guidance counselor provide unmatched insight for those looking to play on the college level.
