THI TV: Catching Up With 2022 ATH Tychaun Chapman

*Full video of the interview is posted below the transcript

VIRGINIA BEACH, VA – Tychaun Chapman can play most any skill position on the football field, though wide receiver is where most colleges see him anchored in the future.

The class of 2022 Princess Anne High School teammate of recent North Carolina commit Tony Grimes was at the G.A.M.E. Academy camp this past weekend at the Virginia Beach Sports Complex where THI caught up with him to learn more about his recruitment.

THI first spoke with Chapman in March not long after he was offered by the Tar Heels, so this past Saturday was a good opportunity to see how things are going with him.

In addition to UNC, the 5-foot-9, 165-pounder has also been offered by Southern Cal, Virginia, Michigan State, South Carolina and Tennessee among others.

Here is a transcript of our interview. The video of the interview is below the transcript:
