MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Like many veteran Blue Raiders, De'Arre McDonald is in a new number for the Blue Raiders in 2024. As older players graduate, the single-digit numbers open up, and those who follow MTSU must relearn who is who on the field.
McDonald, now No. 2 instead of No. 28, made that process easy during fall camp. It'd be hard to miss No. 2 making all the pass breakups in one-on-ones, jumping routs in zone coverage, and, in general, making his presence known at outside cornerback from the start of fall until ahead of MTSU's season opener against Tennessee Tech this Saturday at 6 p.
