Used sparingly in decisive win
October 5, 2025
Donaldson accrued three carries for three yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 42-3 win against Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Donaldson's load was likely lighter to keep him fresh for next week's tangle with Illinois, but it's obvious that the pecking order at running back has gone through some chances since the beginning of the season. Bo Jackson's freshman season has created some seismic shifts on the depth chart, with Jackson often getting equal snaps with Donaldson, and many more than James Peoples.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Prior to breaking his ankle late in the 2022 season, Donaldson was one of the most surprising freshmen in all of college football. He opened the season with 100-yard rushing performances in three of his first four games and ended up accumulating eight touchdowns in just seven games. Although it’s a smaller sample size, he was electric on his 87 carries while averaging 6.05 yards per carry. The only running backs better than him in the conference were Eric Gray (6.41), Kendre Miller (6.25), Bijan Robinson (6.12) and Devin Neal (6.06). If Donaldson can play like any of those running backs in 2023, he’ll be one of the best in the conference. West Virginia will need him to be the featured playmaker and his former running backs coach Chad Scott is now the offensive coordinator, so expect a big year for Donaldson.
