Davon Donaldson is a senior Idaho linebacker already flashing as a steady tackler
In the 2026 season, Davon Donaldson has opened with 3 tackles, including 1 solo and 2 assists, for Idaho, giving the Vandals a senior linebacker who plays with dependable run support and inside-the-box physicality[1][5]. At 6-foot-2 and about 224–225 pounds, he brings a sturdy frame and downhill presence, and the fact that he’s an active senior suggests experience and maturity matter as much as raw splash plays right now[1][8][12]. The early production is modest, but he looks like a fit for a defense that values assignment soundness, tackling consistency, and veteran stability over highlight-reel noise[1][10].
