Donaldson has spent three seasons with WVU, switching to running back from tight end as a true freshman and making a major impact in the first game of his collegiate career. He would become a breakout star, tallying 421 carries for 2,058 yards and 30 touchdowns over his time in Morgantown – he finished the 2024 season with 163 rushes for 734 yards and 11 touchdowns.
Donaldson will have one year of eligibility remaining with the Buckeyes.
