Donald was a five-star linebacker from Tennessee. His tape - which was back when I would follow recruiting - might have been the best HS tape I have ever seen. He looked like a combination of Derrick Brooks and Junior Seau. Manti Teo's high school highlights were not in the same ballpark. If there was anyone I would have guessed would be a sure thing, it would be him. He was rumored to be a silent commit to ND who flipped after our disastrous Sugar Bowl showing against LSU in 2007. He ended up becoming a Volunteer.
He was third string for two seasons before transferring to UT-Chattanooga. He would then disappear off the map. Some guys just do not pan out. No matter how good they look in HS.
