TALLAHASSEE -- Florida State is adding former three-star quarterback recruit Nolan McDonald, who is slated to enroll as a walk-on in June.

McDonald, the brother of FSU Class of 2018 tight end signee Camren McDonald, played at Long Beach (Calif.) Poly. A member of the 2017 recruiting class, McDonald pledged to Air Force in January of 2017 but was not listed on the school’s 2017 roster.

Two sources confirmed McDonald's intent to walk-on at FSU to Noles247 on Friday afternoon.

He was rated as the No. 2,071 overall prospect in the 2017 recruiting class and the No. 78 pro-style quarterback, per the 247Sports Composite Rating system. Air Force recruited McDonald as a quarterback, while most other programs that were interested in McDonald -- including Boise State -- viewed him as an athlete.

McDonald is expected to play quarterback for FSU, where he could add much-needed depth to a QB room that will enter the 2018 campaign with three scholarship signal callers (Deondre Francois, James Blackman and Bailey Hockman). Francois, who is coming of a season-ending knee injury, and Blackman both have starting experience, so FSU isn't in need of a starting-caliber signal caller but rather some depth that the position. McDonald, who said he ran a 4.5 40-yard dash in high school, could help in that regard and has the requisite athleticism to fit in Willie Taggart's spread-style offense.

McDonald's younger brother, Camren McDonald, was a four-star prospect and part of FSU's #WestCoastNoles movement. The Taggart-led staff leaned on relationships developed out west from a year in Oregon to land blue-chip prospects such as McDonald, Jaiden Woodbey (California) and Tre'Shaun Harrison (Washington) in this past recruiting cycle. Nolan McDonald, a captain at Poly as a senior, told Gazette Newspapers in Long Beach back in 2016 that he expected that to be his final season playing with his brother. It looks like they will have a few more seasons together.

Nolan McDonald actually has direct ties to former FSU quarterback Malik Henry, a blue-chip prospect who transferred from FSU after his first season on campus. Henry transferred to Poly during McDonald's junior season in what was described by Gazette as a "drama-filled" year. McDonald opted not to transfer from Poly and was the starter the following season.

“He’s a rarity in this generation,” coach Antonio Pierce told the publication. “He’s all about the team, and not his stats—he’s probably the most unselfish player that I’ve had since I’ve been here. As a leader, he asks about getting the younger guys more reps when we’re up in games. You can’t ask for a better kid, a more mature kid than that.”

As a senior at Poly, McDonald was 86 of 155 for 1,227 yards and 13 touchdowns to 2 interceptions, while also rushing 349 yards and 3 scores according to his MaxPreps profile.
