DYLAN JOSEPH MCDONALD SELECTED FOR USA FOOTBALL TEAM

Parsippany resident Dylan Joseph McDonald has been selected to attend the USA National Development Football Team Games. The event is scheduled for July 14 through July 19 at Veterans Park and Athletic Complex in College Station, Texas.

Mc Donald will be one of 180 high school athletes participating in this event, joining an elite group of football players from across the United States. A linebacker from De Paul Catholic High School, Dylan will have the opportunity to earn a roster spot on the U.S. National Team that will compete against Canada in the International Bowl in February.


The U.S. National Development Games are considered an all-star event by the NCAA or NFHS as they serve as the key evaluation event for the national team selection. The program was designed to allow the best athletes across the country to compete on the football field in order to gain national exposure and develop their skills. USA football scouts will evaluate the talent and ultimately build the USA National Team rosters. Players are chosen based on talent and character. Scouts will also compile a list of top prospects that will be distributed to every college football program in the country.

McDonald has been fortunate enough to make USA National Football Team and play in the International Bowl the last two years.
