Donnalley was drafted by the Houston Oilers in the third round of the 1991 NFL Draft.[1] Donnalley was a member of the Houston/Tennessee Oilers from 1991-1997, a member of the Miami Dolphins from 1998-2000, and a member of the Carolina Panthers from 2001-2003.[2]
Donnalley was part of the offensive line for the Carolina Panthers in 2003. He anchored the Panthers offensive line that allowed only 26 sacks in 2003, a team record for fewest sacks allowed in a season, and helped Panthers rush for a team-record 2,091 yards, including a team-individual mark of 1,444 yards by Stephen Davis.
Coaching careeredit
When the Charlotte 49ers football team restarted their football program in 2013, Donnalley was working in strength and conditioning initially with the plan to move to player development. But in August 2015, the program experienced an unexpected loss when offensive line coach, Phil Ratliff, passed away and Donnalley stepped in to replace him for the season.[3]
Once the season ended, a new offensive line coach was hired and Donnalley was finally able to move to player development. From 2016-2020, Donnalley was the director of student-athlete development for the Charlotte 49ers football team.[4]
On March 23, 2020, he was named director of high school relations for the North Carolina Tar Heels.[4] In 2022, Donnalley was named Director of the Koman Game Plan for Success. His new position focuses on student-athlete development away from football and Donnalley coordinates "initiatives in leadership, career development, and community service.[4] An alumnus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Donnalley serves under his former coach, Mack Brown.
Personal lifeedit
Donnalley and his wife, Erica, also a North Carolina alumnus , have three children: Kayla, Thomas, and Matthew.[5]
He is the younger brother of former NFL player and fellow UNC alum Rick Donnalley.[6]
Heavily involved in charity work, Donnalley served on the national advisory board for the Make a Wish Foundation for seven years as well as helping found another charity March Forth With Hope Foundation that supports families with children battling life threatening medical conditions.[7]
