Ray McDonald was a defensive lineman for Ron Zook and Urban Meyer from 2003-2006, and was the unsung hero of the defensive line during the Gators march to the 2006 national title. While Derrick Harvey and Jarvis Moss were getting sacks, McDonald was occupying interior offensive linemen. Moss had the most famous block in the South Carolina game in 2006, but McDonald also blocked a field goal attempt earlier in the contest. Ray was team captain during the National Championship season, and was All-SEC that year. The San Francisco 49ers selected Ray in the 3rd round of the 2007 NFL Draft.
Trivia: McDonald's father, Ray McDonald, Sr., was a four-year letterman for the Florida Gators from 1982 to 1985 and was a standout wide receiver on the 1985 Gators team that finished 9–1–1.
