Donovan completed his senior campaign for Drexel with 12 goals, two assists, and 26 points in 2021.

The senior was also named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District 2 first team, the MAC Hermann Trophy Watch List and was a finalist for the Senior CLASS Award.
Donovan is the second Drexel player in program history to be drafted by an MLS team. The New York Red Bulls (at the time, MetroStars) selected Jeff Parke with the 60th pick of the 2004 MLS SuperDraft.
