Senior safety is leader in every aspect of the word

Senior safety Adrian McDonald has made UH history.

After beating the previous school record of 16 career interceptions, McDonald now has the opportunity to win the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation’s top defensive back.

But that isn’t what he’s eying.

McDonald’s only concern is winning games, elevating status as a team and being wherever the ball is.

The Cougar: What does it mean to you to be in your school’s record books?

Adrian McDonald: It’s great because it’s an accomplishment, so it shows that I’ve been coming out and working hard.
