Warren's Donovan McNeal wanted to make a statement on offense after spending most of his first varsity season as a linebacker.
Warren’s Donovan McNeal eludes Maine South’s Clark Simpson during a nonconference game in Gurnee on Thursday, Aug. 31, 2023.After playing running back for the majority of his career, McNeal spent most of his first varsity season as a linebacker.“I did get a few carries last year but played mostly defense,” he said. “Last year was my first year not starting at running back, but I still got the ball.
On his TD run, McNeal carried two defenders into the end zone, cutting the Hawks’ lead to 14-7 with 1:41 left in the third quarter. But Maine South reeled off 14 unanswered points, highlighted by a 50-yard TD run by quarterback Constantine Coines with 3:33 left in the fourth quarter. The Blue Devils couldn’t generate much offense for most of the game. McNeal was held to 15 yards on eight carries. Sophomore running backrushed for 110 yards on 19 carries, and senior quarterback Nathan Foster ran for 105 yards, most of which came when the game was out of reach.
“Last year changed my mindset,” McNeal said. “It helped me become a better football player. I realized if I want to be on a state championship team that I have to elevate my game. I’ve just been progressing every year and trying to get better.”
