Terry McDonough was named a Jaguars executive scout on May 13, 2003. He scouts the top collegiate players throughout the region. Additionally, McDonough does crosschecks, attends all major all-star practices and selective spring player workouts of the top draft-eligible players. He also has some additional pro personnel responsibilities.
McDonough joined the Jaguars from the Baltimore Ravens, for whom he scouted the eastern half of the country for the previous three years as the Ravens' eastern college supervisor. He also helped evaluate free agent prospects for the pro personnel department during the free agency period, working with James Harris.
A Boston native, McDonough began his NFL scouting career with an internship with the San Francisco 49ers in 1989. Following his graduation from Massachusetts with a sports management degree, he was named player personnel director of the Barcelona Dragons of the World League in 1990. While with the Dragons (1990-92), McDonough handled a variety of personnel assignments, serving as West Coast scout for the league and helping each team prepare for the WFL drafts. McDonough toured both NFL and CFL training camps to grade potential WFL players. The 1991 Barcelona team finished with a 9-3 record, losing the league title to London in the World Bowl. The following season, the Dragons captured the European title.
In 1992, McDonough was hired by the Cleveland Browns as the southeast area scout, and he moved to Baltimore with the franchise in 1996.
At Hingham (Mass.) High School, McDonough was All-Conference as a running back in football as well as in baseball, and he also lettered in basketball. He transferred to Bridgton Academy, where a serious knee injury that required reconstructive surgery ended his playing career. McDonough has three children, Patrick, Caroline, and Brendan, and lives in Raleigh, N.C. |
