There is a VERY good story on Scout today about Chris Donald called "Discovering Donald." Here's a little bit of it...
If you have a subscription to Scout, you should definitely check it out. Maybe we will still see big things out of Donald before it's all said and done...

So, heading into 2009, Donald was all but forgotten.
Then a funny thing happened ... he got remembered. When first-year UT head coach Lane Kiffin opened up all of the linebacker jobs during the spring, he gave Donald a bunch of practice reps – just to see what the former High School All-American could do.
“He really did not have a bunch of snaps coming into camp,” Kiffin recalled, “so we had to give him a chance.”
“He can really run,” Kiffin noted of Donald, “but learning the system takes a little bit of time. If he continues to learn it, he's going to improve more and more. He's got all of the tools.”
