Chapman, a former Middlebury commit who graduated from Cali powerhouse St. Ignatius this spring, recently opted to reopen his recruitment and take a PG year at Deerfield Academy in Massachusetts. Despite having a fantastic spring and summer, he’s still under-recruited for whatever reason and looks every bit of a player deserving of Ivy and Patriot League attention. Possessing tremendous burst, Chapman is a steady Eddie across the board and a QB type from up top who gets to his spots at will. He thrives with the ball in his stick, making the right play every time and executing plays that his teammates seem to feed off of, whether that’s on the offensive end or in the middle of the field. His first step, shiftiness and overall deception stand out, and he had very little trouble winning his matchups to get his hands free, which resulted in 1g/2a in the semis and a pair of goals in the championship game.
