Syracuse football adds another defensive lineman early in the 2021 recruiting process. So far, ‘Cuse has landed Terry Lockett, Jaelin Moss, and Hayden Nelson. Next, the Orange landed Derek McDonald to bolster the defensive line corps in the future years. McDonald is a junior at Marist School in Georgia and announced his decision to play for Syracuse on Twitter.
McDonald played on both sides of the ball in high school and was even recruited to play offense by colleges. But he is expected to suit up on defense for the Orange and was recruited by Tony White, the team’s new defensive coordinator.
