He backed off his commitment to the Demon Deacons early in May and now completes the flip to Auburn with his commitment on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Visiting Auburn quietly for a spring practice, Chatman became a name on Auburn&#8217;s radar that the Tigers staff was working on behind the scenes. After continued dialogue and losing out on Will Mencl to Oregon, Auburn extended an offer to Chatman on April 22nd. Things moved quickly from there, and now he&#8217;s in the boat for the Tigers.<\/p>\n<p>From Brookwood (Ga.), Chatman is listed at 6-foot-1 and 190 pounds. He&#8217;s ranked in the industry-generated 247Sports Composite as the No. 1,035 player, No. 60 quarterback and No. 120 player from Georgia. 247Sports has him as the No. 55 quarterback in the class.<\/p>\n<p>As a junior for a 10-3 Brookwood squad, Chatman completed 86-of-144 passes (60 percent) for 1,494 yards with 12 touchdowns and four interceptions. He also ran the ball 35 times for 418 yards and five touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>Alex Golesh and offensive coordinator Joel Gordon recruited both Mencl and Israel Abrams earlier in the cycle, with the emphasis ending up landing on Mencl down the stretch. Abrams opted to commit to Miami, while Mencl landed with Oregon. The attention then quickly turned to Chatman in the 2027 cycle.<\/p>\n<p>With the addition of Chatman, Auburn moves up from No. 43 to No. 31 in the 247Sports team recruiting rankings. Chatman is commitment No. 5, joining 4-star running back Myson Johnson-Cook, 4-star defensive lineman Donivan Moore, 4-star tight end George Lamons Jr., 4-star wide receiver Brylan Oduor and 3-star offensive lineman Jaylon Moore. Chatman makes it three Saturday&#8217;s in a row for Auburn landing a commitment, with Oduor and Johnson-Cook joining the class the last two weekends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Auburn has its Class of 2027 quarterback.\u00a0Gary Chatman Jr., who had been committed to Wake Forest since the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":786200,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[1318,1317,1315,1316,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-786199","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-ncaa","10":"tag-ncaa-football","11":"tag-ncaafootball","12":"tag-sports","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116549483054342784","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/786199","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=786199"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/786199\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/786200"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=786199"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=786199"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=786199"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
