SAN MARCOS, Texas– Texas State Athletics Department mourns the loss of legendary player and coach Vernon McDonald earlier this week.
"Vernon McDonald was all Bobcat. I am not sure that anyone experienced or knew more about the history of Bobcat Athletics than Coach McDonald," said Director of Athletics, Dr. Larry Teis. "McDonald was both a great player and an outstanding coach for the university, but he was much more than that. I think his biggest gift was his ability to bring people together. He often drew a crowd and most likely, that crowd was going to hear about the Bobcats.
