247Sports ranks McDonald as the No. 6 ATH in the country and the No. 20 overall prospect in the state of Texas for the 2023 cycle.
The Longhorns are getting one of the more versatile players in the nation with McDonald. He excelled on both sides of the ball for Waco Connally High School. McDonald was named district MVP and helped lead his school to the second round of the playoffs.
Texas sees McDonald likely profiling on the defenive side of the ball at the next level. Many project him to fill out into a linebacker role.

Texas is eyeing on a potential flip of the Oklahoma State commit.
Steve Sarkisian and his staff have extended an offer to four-star athlete Jelani McDonald. The Waco product is one of the quickest rising prospects in the class of 2023.
Texas has some ground to make up in this recruitment as McDonald verbally committed to Oklahoma State back in July.
247Sports’ composite rankings list McDonald as the No. 15 athlete and a top 300 player nationally.
McDonald is a true do-it-all player on the football field. He plays in all three phases of the game for Waco Connally High School. McDonald is the primary quarterback, defensive back and even serves as the team’s main punter.
He is a multi-sport star who excels on both the basketball court and the track.
Texas hopes to add McDonald to the visitor list for its matchup against Iowa State on Oct. 15. The Longhorns are looking to flip the four-star from Big 12 Conference foe Oklahoma State.
