Donaldson signs with CCSJ Cross Country and Basketball programs
Gary, IN – The Calumet College of St. Joseph cross country and men's basketball programs have signed Jacolby Donaldson to the incoming class for the 2026-27 season.
Donaldson, the 6'1 distance runner/guard from Gary, Indiana, plans on majoring in biology and chose CCSJ because, "CCSJ gave me better options than other schools."
At 21st Century Charter School, Donaldson was a scholar-athlete that ran on the track and field and cross country team, and played on the basketball and baseball team. For the basketball team, Donaldson was an intrical piece to the Cougars becoming sectional champions four straight years. The team reached the semi state round in 2023 and 2025, and Donaldson was an all-area honorable mention by the Northwest Indiana Times in 2026.
As a cross country distance runner for the Cougars, Donaldson was a regional qualifier in 2025. On the track team, Donaldson was a conference champion of the 4x800 meter relay team. He also became a second-team all-conference member for his effort in the 400 meter dash.
Come next school year when he is with the Crimson Wave, Donaldson said he is looking forward to CCSJ helping him become a better student-athlete.
