In a major boost for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, highly regarded high school prospect Eric Chatfield Jr., a standout guard from Atlanta, has officially committed to the program.
Chatfield’s commitment marks a significant milestone for head coach Damon Stoudamire as he continues to build a competitive roster for the upcoming seasons.
Chatfield, who attends one of the top high schools in the state, is widely recognized for his athleticism, scoring ability, and versatility on the court.
The 6’3″ guard has been a standout player for his high school team, where he showcased his scoring ability, court vision, and leadership skills. His combination of size, speed, and basketball IQ has caught the attention of recruiters nationwide.
For Georgia Tech, Chatfield represents more than just a talented player; he is also a local product, which adds to the significance of his commitment.
Atlanta has always been a hotbed for basketball talent, and securing a top player from the area is a win for the program and the city. Chatfield’s decision to stay home and play for the Yellow Jackets signals a growing sense of pride and ambition within the team.
It also reinforces Georgia Tech’s efforts to tap into the local recruiting scene, which has been an area of focus under Coach Stoudamire.
What sets Chatfield apart is his ability to impact the game in multiple ways. On offense, he is an adept shooter from long range and has a smooth ability to create scoring opportunities for both himself and his teammates. His off-the-dribble game is well-rounded, and he is known for making clutch plays in critical moments.
Defensively, Chatfield’s length and quickness allow him to guard multiple positions, giving Georgia Tech valuable flexibility.
Coach Stoudamire has expressed excitement about Chatfield’s potential and his fit within the system. “Eric is the kind of player we want to build our program around,” Stoudamire said. “He has a great work ethic, and his skill set will help us compete in the ACC. We’re thrilled to have him join the Georgia Tech family.”
Chatfield’s commitment is seen as a sign that Georgia Tech is on the rise under Stoudamire, who has been working hard to revitalize the program. As the Yellow Jackets look toward the future, the addition of Chatfield is a step in the right direction, bringing energy and promise to the team.
With his strong ties to Atlanta and his growing reputation as a top talent, Chatfield is poised to make an immediate impact on the court when he arrives on campus.
