  McDonald will become the first person in his family with a college degree when he graduates this fall, Campbell said, and that was a motivating factor. Along with the ability to improve his professional prospects even more. "Just really consistently getting himself to be one of the best defensive linemen in the country," Campbell said. "He felt like there was still room for growth and opportunity to grow in some of those areas." McDonald said it was all about further preparation for a professional future. "I just felt like I had more to prove in football," he said. "I felt like I wasn't mature enough to go to the combine. It's never too bad to take another year to learn more about football. "I've got to live more professionally. I'm not saying my life is bad because it's good. I just want to make sure I'm set to go to the League."

So what will McDonald, already the best to ever do it at Iowa State, bring with another year of college? "Hopefully an improved Will McDonald - bigger, faster, stronger and smarter," Heacock said. "He's what I consider a 'go' guy. When it's time to go, he goes. I think that's what everybody's watching. "We've got to do everything to help him. He's going to have to play a few more reps than normally, but the expectations for me is that he's gotten bigger, faster, stronger and smarter over the summer, spring and winter. "We'll have a new and improved Will." - Des Moines Register
