According to the Chattanooga Times Free Press, Donald has chosen to retire from football due to what the paper describes as recurring wrist problems. After dealing with the wrist issues throughout most of the 2010 season, Donald underwent surgery on both joints this offseason. Donald’s rehab from the procedures has been a slow go as he hasn’t even been able to lift weights during that time, which likely prompted the decision.
“Chris gave four years to football and he’s so banged up — he still can’t do anything — and he’s just too banged up to play,” UTC head coach Russ Huesman told the paper.
After playing sparingly with the Volunteers during his three years in Knoxville, Donald transferred to the Mocs in 2010. A 7.5-sack performance earned Donald second-team All-Southern Conference honors.
Donald was a five-star player according to Rivals.com in ’07, with the recruiting service rating him as the top player in the state of Tennessee and the No. 1 outside linebacker in that class.
