Brown’s Triston McDonald brings veteran instincts, but the production is still a blank slate
In the 2024 season, Triston McDonald was listed as a senior linebacker/OLB for Brown, but he did not see game action, so there’s no current on-field stat line to hang a spotlight on. What stands out instead is his background: a former district defensive captain at Mansfield Timberview, a 54.5-tackle, 7-TFL, 2.5-sack high school senior with strong academics and powerlifting chops—exactly the kind of disciplined, physical, team-first profile coaches like to plug into special teams and depth charts. If you need an undersung, mature locker-room piece with upside, he’s worth a look.
