It appears that both the season and likely career is over for O'neill Chambers. Earlier it was announced that OC was "suspended indefinately" due to disciplinary reasons for the remainder of the 2010 season. This was not the first time Chambers was sidelined either for the same possible reasons having missed the Nevada and Utah State games this season.
The former 3 star recruit receiver and kick off returner from Harmony Florida was definately quite the athlete and competitor. Under former cougar standout Tyler Anderson OC was credited for 39 receptions and 965 yards with 10 TDs as a senior. He was heavily recruited including teams as Florida, Maryland, Mississippi State, South Carolina and Purdue but still chose to come cross country to the cougs.
Last week OC also became the cougs career leader in kickoff return yardage with 1612 yards. Apparently per ESPN Chambers finishes the season and possible career with 40 receptions covering 466 yards and 2 TDs. O'neill certainly isn't short on talent and could have clearly been even more of a difference maker. Wearing a blue jersey as a player and team player though are two completely different things. This team though is seeking to be a true band of brothers. Unfortunately, the abrasive personality and firey attitude may have been the square peg not able to ever completely fit in which may have led to the indefinate dismissal from the team. Chambers talent and playmaking ability will certainly be missed. OC will likely finish the semester with the intention to transfer. Apparently BYU has released OC to a number of FBS schools. The cougs program will carry on with games still to play and to win. Wherever that road takes you OC may you find success in all your hopes and dreams.
