Recruiting Battle to Watch

In this week’s recruiting battle, we will take a look at a running back that has caught the eyes of multiple teams in the MAC. Branden McDonald, a 5’11, 217-lbs. back out of Archbishop Alter High School in Ohio, has a grand total of12 offers, including ones from Ball State, Bowling Green, Kent State, Miami, Ohio, and Toledo. McDonald had a highly productive junior season in 2019 as he went for 1,100 yards and 13 touchdowns on the ground on his way to Third Team All-Ohio honors. As you can see in his Hudl film below, McDonald is very Derrick Henry-esque: he’s a big and strong back but he also has surprising speed and agility (and has some nice hands out of the backfield too). A college strength and conditioning program could help improve his top-end speed, making him a dangerous RB at the next level.
