Redshirt junior quarterback Matt McDonald enters the spring as the frontrunner for the starting quarterback position in the 2020 season. A transfer from Boston College, McDonald appeared in two games in 2018 for the Eagles, completing 7-of-8 passes for 118 yards and two touchdowns.

In high school, McDonald was a standout quarterback at one of the nation's premier programs at Mission Viejo High School in California. As a senior, he threw 39 touchdowns to just six interceptions, and completed 64 percent of his passes. He was rated the No. 51 pro-style quarterback in the country entering college.

McDonald has the most experience in the quarterback room, and also has familiarity with Scot Loeffler's offense from the season they spent together at Boston College.

"Matt has more experience than anybody," Quarterbacks Coach Max Warner said. "He's been in the offense for four years, had a great offseason with Coach Loeffler and msyelf, and he's developing mentally and physically. There probably is not a hungrier guy in college football right now than Matt McDonald."

Backing up McDonald will be redshirt freshman LaBronz Davis and early enrollee Tucker Melton, a true freshman. Freshman Riley Keller will join the program in the fall from Whitmer High School in Northwest Ohio.
