In the 2023 season, he recorded 798 yards on 171 carries (4.7 yards per attempt) with 11 touchdowns, followed by 734 yards on 163 carries (4.5 yards per attempt) and 11 touchdowns in 2024.

At Ohio State, Donaldson is expected to provide veteran depth to the running back corps, particularly with the anticipated departures of senior TreVeyon Henderson and potential NFL draft candidate Quinshon Judkins. His experience and proven track record are anticipated to be valuable assets for the Buckeyes in the upcoming season.
Donaldson’s commitment to Ohio State was officially announced on December 23, 2024. His addition is part of Ohio State’s strategy to bolster their offensive lineup for the 2025 season, aiming to maintain their competitive edge in collegiate football.
