DE Isaiah Chambers (May 29)

Isaiah Chambers ..... Aldine MacArthur (Houston, TX)
4-star ..... DE ..... 6-4/252 ..... TCU​

Chambers is ranked as the No. 9 strong-side defensive end in the country. He has posted a 4.80/40, a 4.50/shuttle, and a 430/squat.

Per 247Sports (1) and (2):
Chambers has a good frame and enough natural pass rush ability he should be able to help a college program as either a strong-side or a weak-side end. He is extremely lengthy and did a great job [at The Opening] using his speed to get around opposing tackles with ease. His quick first step set him apart from the rest of the group.

Big-time edge rusher. Can bend and explodes to finish. One of the nation’s best defensive end prospects.

Per HD (1) and (2):
Chambers is an impressive end prospect. He has a very nice combination of height and size and possesses the upper and lower body strength to squeeze and shed blockers who also have size. He moves well for his size with above average short area burst, which allows him to consistently put pressure on quarterbacks and deliver hits. It seems like he is hitting the quarterback or pressuring him more often than not. Can and will deliver big hits.

Strengths: disengaging skills, size, and strength.

The 6-4, 240-pound Chambers is extremely athletic and the concern for opponents is that his use of hands is really good, his feet are really good, and he can explode into tackles. The possible weakness he has is that he may not be fully developed from a strength standpoint, but he will be and that won't be fun for anybody standing in his way.

His take off is really good and he seems to do well in reading pass and run. He stays aggressive with either, but rarely over commits himself, which really good and explosive athletic players often do.

His discipline is good. I saw him on several plays in the games I watched resist temptation to go deeper and kept his side and containment. He is also relentless as he had several plays pass by him but he stayed with it and on a few occasions he was able to get to the ball and make the play.

Another aspect of his play that I really liked was that he kept his base. Unless he had to leave his feet or go off balance to finish a tackle, he kept a good base and that allowed him to move either direction and made it difficult on runners and quarterbacks to buy an extra second to get the ball off or get buy him.

​

 

Good move getting off blocks and through the gap. Quick feet, good vision, strong, keeps his legs moving, good hand movement. And he drills people.

 

Chamber commits to TCU (9-25).

 

Did we let Chambers slip because we thought we were going to get Madubuike?
