Senior safety is key playmaker on defense

With football becoming more and more of an offensive game, it’s easy to overlook standout players on the defensive side of the ball.

For the Cougars, one of those standout players is senior safety Adrian McDonald.

No matter where he lines up on the field, McDonald has a knack for finding the ball.

This season, McDonald already has two interceptions, tying the career interception record for active players. He is only one interception away from tying the all-time record for Houston.

With a week of rest and preparation and Texas State’s upcoming arrival in Third Ward, McDonald is in prime position to write his name in the record books.
