Jackson State’s McDonald Shows New Promise

Dedric McDonald was a quarterback in limbo for the Jackson State Tigers football team last season. Shuffled in and out of the starting lineup with senior Trae Rutland, he and the Tigers never showed any continuity on offense, and the resulting 3-7 record left JSU fans frustrated for answers.

The inconsistency at quarterback may have been solved, at least in preseason workouts.

“It’s what Dedric wants it to be,” Comegy said. “It’s an opportunity for Dedric to stand up and move forward with his college career. I know my fingers are crossed.

“It’s up to Dedric to make that happen.”

McDonald said the process started in the winter. He’s been working on his game 2-3 times a day, four times a week – trying to get smarter, stronger, faster. With a new offensive coordinator in Earnest Wilson, McDonald said he already has 80 percent of the “Air Raid” offense down.
