Film.

My take: Not a great throwing motion...seems to short arm the ball a bit but does have a fairly quick release. Shows decent accuracy (hits WRs running short routes somewhere close to the target zone) and decent touch on balls to the corner. Decent strength as far as throwing the deep ball but loses a lot of his zip due to his motion. Quick feet in the pocket, although has a tendency to let his base get way too wide.

Booker T's McDonald makes choice - 02/05/2008 - MiamiHerald.com

Booker T. Washington's Sancho McDonald was the starting quarterback of the eventual Class 4A state champion Tornadoes in September, and he also had offers from major college programs such as South Florida and Rutgers.

But it all came crashing down when McDonald tore his Achilles' tendon in the second game of the season, which abruptly ended his high school career.

McDonald could only watch from the sideline as the Tornadoes won their first state title, and as USF and Rutgers withdrew their offers.

After finding a college program that would give him a chance five months later, McDonald is now on a quest for redemption.

''It was a really hard time for me,'' McDonald said. ``Schools stopped coming around for me. I just kept faith that something good was going to happen if I kept working hard to come back.''

Two weeks ago, McDonald was visited by coaches from Middle Tennessee State.

After an official visit a week ago, McDonald orally committed to the Blue Raiders, who along with Minnesota and Rhode Island were the schools that offered him scholarships after the injury.
