Mike McDonald joined the Hall of Fame in 2002 after several near-misses. One of the top offensive linemen in school history, he was named to the Associated Press and American Football Coaches Association All-America first teams in 1980. He received the Stuart Smith Award as the team's outstanding sophomore in 1977. After sitting out the 1978 campaign with a broken leg, McDonald returned in 1979 to serve as team co-captain and was named a District II Academic All-American. He completed his eligibility as a graduate student in 1980. McDonald helped open holes for All-America running back Ken Jenkins, who rushed for 1,270 yards in 1980 (then a school record) and 2,336 in his career. After graduation, McDonald attended several NFL training camps and then earned his law degree at Temple University before starting a successful law practice in his hometown of Lancaster, Pa.
