Only Tyrell Chatman Until Penn State Football
A freshman speedster denotes the under three week mark.
Tyrell Chatman has been identified as Penn State's only football prospect, following his arrival at the university as a true freshman defensive back from Lincoln, Nebraska. A standout prospect, Chatman was ranked the No. 3 prospect in Nebraska by 247Sports and On3. Before committing to Penn State, he had already played for Northern Illinois and Iowa State.
On offense, Chatman was a versatile player, contributing as both a quarterback and receiver, accumulating 2,047 total yards and 26 touchdowns throughout his high school career. Defensively, he recorded 88 tackles, 21 pass breakups, and four interceptions, culminating in Omaha World-Herald Super Six honors in his senior year. While his football skills are impressive, Chatman is also a talented track athlete, having medaled in both the 400m and 200m events during his high school years.
Penn State has high expectations for Chatman, projecting him as a cornerback, despite his high school production primarily coming as a two-way athlete.
