The junior tailback kicked off his first season as the Western Illinois football team's starting running back with a four-overtime victory over South Dakota State, a game in which he was out-rushed by redshirt freshman quarterback Matt Barr.

It did not take Donaldson long, however, to rack up a total of 1,491 yards and 10 touchdowns on 259 carries during the 2007 season.

Donaldson's biggest games of the season came against Gateway Football Conference opponents, including a 314-yard, two-touchdown performance in a 31-10 victory against Missouri State.

The junior also had a 241-yard effort in a 27-14 win at Illinois State and compiled 191 yards in the Gateway opener at Indiana State, as the Leathernecks beat the Sycamores 19-7.
