BOWLING GREEN — Matt McDonald will not play in Bowling Green’s season-opening game Thursday evening against Morgan State.
McDonald, whose waiver appeal before the NCAA is pending, has not yet been cleared to play immediately after transferring from Boston College this offseason.
The redshirt sophomore quarterback will sit out at least the first game as the waiver process plays out before the NCAA.
Last season, McDonald appeared in two games for Boston College and completed 7 of 8 passes for 118 yards and two touchdowns. Upon enrolling at Bowling Green, McDonald competed for the starting position in training camp and appeared to be the favorite to start.
