Donaldson is a big-time run finisher with good touchdown production. He’s a tunnel-vision runner with good power but doesn’t work beyond the assigned gap very often, regardless of what is in front of him. He looked a little more dynamic against Big 12 competition during his three seasons at West Virginia, but he profiled as more of a downhill hammer at Ohio State in 2025. He’s ordinary on third down in protection and out of the backfield. Donaldson profiles as a potential RB3 with short-yardage value who could handle a heavier workload if asked.
