A native of Savannah, McDonough was a star quarterback for William Alexander's Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets football teams,[3] inducted into the school's athletics hall of fame in 1962.[4] McDonough amassed a 26–7 record while at Tech.

He started as a true freshman when Marshall Guill was moved to end, and only missed four games in four years due to an injury in his sophomore season caused by Pitt's Orville Hewitt.
