UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - For his fifth year in the program, Penn State's men soccer veteran Kyle MacDonald sets a positive example both on the field and in the classroom.
MacDonald is a true representative of what "success with honor" means in Penn State Athletics. He's a quiet leader on the team while also majoring in architectural engineering in the Schreyer's Honor College.
"Kyle's role is an amazing model for every freshman that comes into this program. Between his work ethic in the classroom and his dedication on the field, he's a guy you point to and say 'that's how you do it if you're a Penn State player,'" said head coach Bob Warming. "He's a great representative of Schreyer's, and a great example of the athletics program here at Penn State."
Although he's extremely dedicated to his academics and the team, MacDonald tributes his teaching staff and coaches for helping him succeed in both.
"It's tough to keep the balance but I have a great coaching staff and faculty to achieve my goals both academically and on the field," said MacDonald. "It's a lot of forward thinking and time management on my end. I like to be proactive and have a plan going into each week to make sure I can get everything done."
