Rich Barnes-USA TODAY Sports Name: Derek McDonald
Position: Defensive line
Height: 6’4”
Weight: 230 lbs

2020 stats: McDonald had a pretty impressive final season in high school, collecting 70 tackles and 22 tackles for loss (five sacks), along with four forced fumbles.
2021 projections: McDonald’s on the lighter side for a defensive end and the top of the Syracuse Orange line depth chart’s already pretty veteran-laden. So expect a readshirt season.
