UVA’s rangy, high-motor linebacker who flashes real impact
In the 2024 season, Trey McDonald broke out for Virginia with 58 tackles in 12 games and added his first career interception, showing he can be more than just a steady body at linebacker[1][12]. At 6-foot-4 and about 235 pounds, he brings length, range, and a physical presence that helped him earn a bigger role and praise for handling increased snaps, while also standing out academically and as a strong program fit off the field[2][5][11].
