Compact, efficient Maryland back who flashed big-play pop before an injury-shortened finish
In the 2024 season, Colby McDonald gave Maryland a sturdy, north-south option with 150 rushing yards on 29 carries plus 16 receiving yards, showing efficient burst and enough versatility to stay on the field in multiple spots.[2][9] His best trait has been a compact, physical style with quickness and pass-catching ability that evaluators said could help him see the field early, but his 2024 season ended with a lower-leg injury and his college career appears to have finished with 921 rushing yards and 6 touchdowns across four seasons.[8][10]
