EWU’s McDonald good fit in talented secondary

The two-lane streets and wheat fields beyond are only two reminders that Tevin McDonald is far from Los Angeles. The differences end at Roos Field, where McDonald, a junior safety at Eastern Washington, has worked and played since transferring from UCLA last spring. “It is a lot different, but I’ve adjusted,” McDonald said. “It’s been a positive experience here in Cheney, and I’m excited to go to war with my teammates.”
