In-State Linebacker/Safety Chayce Chalmers Quickly Accepts Virginia Offer

Another day, another class of 2019 commitment for the Virginia football program. Stonewall Jackson (Manassas, VA) linebacker/safety Chayce Chalmers is the latest pledge, committing less than 24 hours after receiving a scholarship offer from the Cavaliers.

Chalmers was offered by Virginia following a standout performance at UVA’s Mid-Atlantic Camp on Monday (June 18). The 6’1”, 205-pound rising senior is being recruited by the Cavaliers as a potential linebacker or safety, InsideNova.com reports.

Chalmers followed up an all-conference sophomore season by earning first-team all-Cedar Run district honors as a utility player in 2017. A two-sport standout, Chalmers’ personal bests on the track include a 10.92-second 100-meters and a 21.73-second 200. At The Opening event in New Jersey this past April, Chalmers posted an electronically-timed 4.69-second 40, an electronically-timed 4.33-second 20-yard agility, and a 31.9-inch vertical leap. He measured in at 6’1”, 205 pounds at the event.

Rivals and 247Sports rank Chalmers as a 3-star recruit. He is the no. 29 rising senior in the state according to 247.

Rutgers and Connecticut offered Chalmers during the summer of 2017. Air Force, Army, Kent State and Yale are among the schools that offered earlier this year. He visited U-Conn and Rutgers, among others, and attended a game at UVA last fall.

Chalmers gives Virginia 10 commitments in the class of 2019. He becomes the second rising senior to commit to the Hoos in as many days, joining offensive lineman Jonathan Leech. Virginia boasts three commitments within the past seven days.
