It didn’t take long for North Carolina to begin shipping in 2022. Four-star wide receiver Tychaun Chapman verbally engaged on Saturday afternoon at Tar Heels – three days after Heels signed national class no. 14 2021.
“I trust the coaches,” Chapman said. “I feel like I can put myself in the right position to succeed.”
A month ago, Chapman, a 10-foot-tall, 160-foot-tall Virginia Beach, Virginia, Princess Anne High named his last five schools Alabama, Florida State, Maryland, UNC and Penn State. In addition to these five, another 20 schools offered him a scholarship. In addition, although he did not offer, Clemson recruited him as much as anyone. In October, Chapman participated in the UNC strike of the rival NC state. It was her only visit to a college during the coronavirus pandemic.
Chapman is a former high school teammate of the UNC defender Tony Grimes. Like Chapman and Grimes, UNC assistant coach Dr. Bly is a Tidewater Area product. Bly led Chapman’s courtship by the heel.
In addition to its four-star rating, 247Sports Composite ranks Chapman as recruit no. 163 and the wide receiver no. 20.
Last season, Princess Anne High used Chapman as a back-up and receiver, where she amassed 1,300 backyards and scored 15 touchdowns. Chapman also excels in athletics. The best personal line of 55 meters is 6.42 seconds.
Brian Dohn, 247Sports National Recruiting Analyst, wrote the following assessment of Chapman: “The ideal setting and skills set to play in the slot. Elite athletics with speed and high speed. Runs 55 meters in 6.4 seconds. Elusive in tight spaces. line in an instant and it’s hard to block. Increase in and out of breaks and create separation. He follows the balls well and does not allow passages to enter his body. Strong hands. Stretch the defense so that it is effective on the lower routes. Effective on jet sweeps. He needs to add strength to deal with physical blockages and defensive backs. It needs to be more physical at the top of the trails. Sometimes they dance in search of a great game, rather than in getting positive yards. Multiannual starter in the Top 20 program. Day 3. “
UNC head coach Mack Brown said Wednesday at his signing conference that until the pandemic protocols can be relaxed, the 2022 Class will be unique in that its recruitment will be completely remote.
“The other part about recruiting right now in ’22 is that I had a young man who wants to get hired the other day, a ’22, ‘” Brown said. “And our coach said,’ I’ve never met him. ‘ I said, “You’re not going to meet him. I mean maybe June, maybe more, but if he wants to get a job now and he’s good enough, you’re going to have to have a relationship with him and his family on Zoom. we have to do them now, we can’t see them, we can’t weigh them, we can’t measure them, we can’t have them in the camp, we can’t even meet them, so what we have to do, which is different from last year’s class “Because we have to see them all and we had a relationship before we started, we have to do our relationships on FaceTime and Zoom. And that’s very, very different.”
