Will McDonald - 2018 DE Committ

There is a couple highlights that shows his quickness and speed being elite. He also has a 6'9 wingspan which is always good at that position. Will be interesting to see how he puts on weight...this kid could turn into a monster in a couple years

I like that Campbell isn't afraid to take players with high ceilings. Players like McDonald and Leo have little time learning technique but tremendous physical potential. These players can be great additions because they tend to lack years of bad habits learned through lower level coaching. Hopefully we continue to see development like we saw last year.

Watching his highlights, I thought he might be the fastest guy on the field as a DE. I also thought he was slow to get off on the snap at times. That make sense now that I know he just started playing football. It will be interesting to see his improvement during his senior year.
 
Great potential with this kid. Welcome aboard Will! Stick with ISU, you won't regret it.

I bet he'll be 220-230 lbs by the time he hits the ISU campus. Probably could get up to 240 lbs by the time he sees the field, and if he doesn't lose much speed and quickness, he'll be a beast.

Long armed, athletic and lanky. Reminds me of Reggie Hayward at that age. He ended up playing 10 years in the NFL at 270 lbs.

Will is now listed at 210 lbs. If that's accurate, he could be another Cordarrius Bailey type (6-4, 220 lbs. iirc) by the time he gets here. Speed and long wingspan, we got good stuff happen' at DE.
 
Welcome Will! Has a nice ring to it. Williminator Will.


Seriously, welcome to ISU!
