Seth McDonald '13 Recruiting Profile

 I am a 6'1", 210 pound, senior All-State linebacker and runningback from Sandwich, Illinois.  My senior year I led my team with 110 tackles (63 solo) and 120 yards rushing per game. We finished 6-4 and made it to the state playoffs for a school-record third year in a row. I was named 1st team All-State,1st team All-Conference, Team MVP, and was selected to two 1st team all-area teams. As a junior, I led my team with 107 tackles, made 1st team All-Conference, was selected to two all-area teams, and was voted Team Defensive MVP. We finished 9-3 and made it to the State quarter-finals. As a sophomore, I started on the varsity at linebacker and was selected to two all-area teams. We finished 11-2 and made it to the State semi-final playoff game.  The things I can offer a college football program are athleticism and strong leadership.  I have always been elected team captain in my class, including my 2012 football team. I also received the NUC LB MVP twice (2011, 2012) and Combine Leadership Award (2011) at their South Chicago Combine.  More importantly, I was selected by my teachers to represent my high school at the Illinois Leadership Seminar series and IHSA Leadership Conference.  As a multi-sport athlete, I have played numerous positions in football, basketball and baseball.  My GPA is 3.0 and getting a good college education is my #1 goal.  My athletic goal is to play college football at any level, but I want to compete at the highest level possible.  I am a hard-worker on and off the field, humble, passionate, self-driven and confident.  I am a team player first and foremost, but want to make an impact as early as possible.  I am interested in majoring in sports management or exercise science, and want to coach football as a career.
