Quick Q&A Interview with McDonogh 35 LSU FS/OLB Commit Cliff Chatman
Written by Ryan Wright
When the 2015 Louisiana high school football season kicks off one player all offensive coordinators taking the field against McDonogh 35 High School will have to account for is safety/outside linebacker Clifford Chatman.
The 6’5”, 185 pound, athlete made his presence felt on the field during his junior season coming up with 74 tackles, seven tackles for a loss, two picks, eight pass breakups, and jarred the pigskin out of three ball carries hands. College coaches love the versatility Chatman brings to the field receiving offers from Ole Miss, Arizona State, Mississippi State, Temple, Arizona, Oklahoma State, and Tulane.
The offers and interest have come in but Chatman committed to in-state power LSU on Feb. 11 helping the Tigers stockpile one of the best recruiting classes in the nation to date for 2016.
With Chatman committed to LSU and the vast amount of defensive talent the Roneagles have on returning, McDonogh 35 will be a team to watch in 2015. In addition to Chatman, the New Orleans area team has defensive end Sci Martin and defensive tackles Jamal Crawford and Stephon Taylor ready to be a wrecking crew this season.
We quizzed Chatman in all things football in a previous interview but we wanted to find out more about the big time recruit putting him through our “getting to know you” Q&A series.
