McDonald was named to the Pro Football Weekly All-American first team along with LT Matt Kalil, who joined Ryan Kalil as the third brother-brother All-American combo in USC football history (McKeevers and Matthews). Record-setting WR Robert Woods made it three USC All-Americans from the 2011 team after ESPN recognized his accomplishments.
All three could potentially return next season. Woods will surely return and join five Freshman All-Americans.
LB Hayes Pullard was named a first team freshman by College Football News joining LB Dion Bailey, WR Marqise Lee, OL Marcus Martin and PK Andre Heidari as first year players who have been tabbed Freshman All-Americans by recognized publications.
McDonald led the Trojans with three interceptions.
