During his senior season, Chambers logged 69 tackles and five pass deflections. With Chambers in its secondary, Westlake reached the fourth round of the Class 6A, Division I playoffs. The 5-foot-11-inch, 175-pound Chambers was a first-team honoree on District 25-6A’s all-district team.
Chambers was a classmate of Ehlinger, the four-star quarterback who enrolled early and went through spring drills with the Longhorns. Chambers and Ehlinger were both captains for the Chaparrals this past season. Texas standout linebacker Breckyn Hager also graduated from Westlake in 2015.
