Called by the Tulsa coaching staff the team's finest athlete, the Golden Hurricane weak-side linebacker could be ready for another position change at the professional level. Having been recruited as a quarterback and defensive back, he shifted to the linebacker unit upon his arrival on campus.

Over the years, Chamberlain developed a great understanding of the linebacker position and is a solid force against the run and pass. With his great foot quickness and ability to see the field and make plays in space, many scouts feel strong safety will be his final destination. He closed out his career as the school's fifth-leading tackler, registering 352 tackles in 50 games.

Chamberlain was a four-year letter-winner and three-year starter at Bethany High School, lining up at quarterback and free safety his final three years. He led his team to a 13-2 record and the Class 2A state title as a senior, earning District 2A-1 Player of the Year honors. He was selected to the Oklahoma Coaches Association (OCA) All-State West team and also earned first-team All-State honors from the Daily Oklahoman as a defensive back. He was named the Little All-City Offensive Player of the Year by the Daily Oklahoman and was chosen to the Oil Bowl team.

In 2003, Chamberlain rushed for 2,096 yards and 25 touchdowns, as he also threw for 1,020 yards and 11 touchdowns from his quarterback position. He also recorded 147 tackles and had 10 interceptions. As a junior, he had 108 tackles with eight interceptions while also rushing for 518 yards and 11 scores and passing for 997 yards and eight more touchdowns. During his career, he posted 399 tackles and picked off 20 passes. He rushed for 2,777 yards and 37 touchdowns, while completing 148-of-324 passes for 2,433 yards and 29 scores.

Chamberlain played in 11 games as a true freshman, starting five of Tulsa's final six games at weak-side linebacker. He produced 48 tackles (24 solos) with three sacks, 5 ½ stops for losses and four pressures. He also recovered two fumbles and caused another. He started all 13 games as a sophomore, finishing third on the team with 88 tackles (53 solos), adding 4 ½ sacks and 11 stops behind the line of scrimmage. He caused two fumbles, broke up two passes and intercepted another.

In 2006, Chamberlain shifted to strong-side linebacker, earning All-Conference USA third-team accolades, as he started the team's final eight contests. He posted 51 tackles (31 solos), two sacks and 3 ½ stops for losses. He returned one of two interceptions for a touchdown, deflected another pass and was credited with a pair of pressures.

As a senior, Chamberlain garnered All-American honorable mention and All-Conference USA first-team honors. He set the school single-season record and ranked fifth in the nation with 165 tackles (101 solos), including three sacks and a team-high 12 ½ stops for losses. He caused three fumbles, knocked down a pass and intercepted three others. He also saw action on offense, gaining 22 yards with a touchdown on nine carries and caught three passes for 74 yards (24.7 avg).

In 50 games at Tulsa, Chamberlain started 40 contests. He recorded 352 tackles (209 solos) with 12 ½ sacks for minus-96 yards, 32 ½ stops for losses of 155 yards and eight quarterback pressures. He caused six fumbles and recovered two others. He gained 48 yards with a touchdown on six interception returns and broke up four passes.

Positives: Well-defined athlete with muscular arms and thighs, but lacks ideal bulk to play linebacker (except in a Cover-2 schemes) and with his range, he could be more effective utilized as a strong safety … Shows impressive flexibility, agility, balance, body control and change-of-direction skills … Reads and reacts to the plays instinctively, having the valid quickness to maintain position on the receivers in short-to-intermediate routes … Smooth turning out of his backpedal and has a sharp initial burst to get a good jump on the ball, demonstrating little wasted motion planting and exploding in transition … Physical tackler who squares up, drives with his legs and wraps securely … Reacts to plays in front of him with no hesitation, quickly defending vs. the curls and out patterns … Times the pass well, displaying the ability to compete for the ball at its high point … Adequate in run support, keeping his hands active to fight off the low blocks, but can be engulfed when he lets the offensive linemen get a piece of his jersey … Keeps his shoulders square taking on ballcarriers along the perimeter, playing at a low pad level to attack the runner's outside leg … Comes under control to make the wrap or take-down tackle … Has enough balance and quickness to make read mistakes and overcome them with his speed when playing off the edge … Knows how to twist and get small to slip past blocks when trying to pressure the pocket … On offense, he shows abilities to catch, run and throw the football … Quick and smooth in his route progression and has the body control to get to off-target tosses … Former prep quarterback who plants firmly before unleashing the ball, which he carries chest high to get a quicker release … On special teams, he shows good vision to pick up the gunners to protect the returners … With his vision and ability to run with the ball and block, he could make an efficient fullback in the pros if experiments on defense fail.

Negatives: If he is to remain at linebacker, he will need to add more bulk and improve his overall strength (struggles to split double teams and loses battles when a lineman gets into his body) … Needs technique refinement in man coverage, as he will over-pursue and miss tackles at times … Has decent natural speed in coverage, but sometimes takes bad angles in pursuit … Not really a punishing bull rusher and he tends to get bounced around by bigger blockers when asked to step up and fill the rush lanes … While he has a smooth turning motion, he tends to side-pedal at times, preventing him from getting an explosive break on the ball near the point of attack … Has to retreat to get off a blocker when trying to attack the inside gaps … Sometimes gets too aggressive rising for the hit and will lose a good fit in attempts to make contact … When he gets reckless in pursuit, he will slide off and miss some tackles.

Compares To: DARNELL BING-New York Jets … Except for a Cover-2 scheme, Chamberlain isn't an ideal fit at outside linebacker, but with his range and man coverage ability, he could be more effective as a strong safety. He is a self-made player who entered the program as a 200-pound quarterback and got to see action on offense as a senior. He has just a little more room on his frame to bulk up, but the added weight could impact his quickness. Use him at safety first and if he fails to produce, playing weak-side linebacker in a Cover-2 would be his next alternative. He could also be an efficient blocker/third-down receiver as a fullback.
