Chris Daniels has worn the burnt orange for the final time.

The former Euless Trinity defensive standout was officially released from the University of Texas on Monday. He redshirted last season and never played a single down.

Daniels was the District 7-6A Defensive MVP during his senior season of 2015-16. He also made second team all-state that year and was a two-time all-district selection.

On Feb. 3, 2016, Daniels came out to a packed Trinity gym on National Signing Day and made his announcement to go with Texas over Oklahoma. At the time, Daniels held 31 scholarship offers including from Baylor, Alabama, Michigan, Miami, Nebraska and more.
