Well, that didn't take long.
Just one week after he earned an offer from Ohio State, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, American Heritage four-star defensive end Andrew Chatfield committed to the Buckeyes. He made the announcement on Twitter Thursday night.

The Chatfield File
- Class: 2018
- Size: 6-foot-2, 221 pounds
- Pos: DE
- School: American Heritage (Fort Lauderdale, FL)
- Composite Rating: ★★★★
- Composite Rank: 15 (WDE)
The 6-foot-2, 221-pound Chatfield is considered the 15th-best weak-side defensive end and No. 288 prospect overall in the Class of 2018. He picked Ohio State over nearly 30 offers from programs such as Arkansas, LSU, Notre Dame, Michigan State, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Tennessee, Virginia Tech and Wisconsin.
Chatfield visited Columbus for the first time in mid-April with teammates Patrick Surtain Jr. and Tyson Campbell, a two-day trip which he reportedly could not stop talking about.
Still, the Buckeyes waited to offer him a scholarship until defensive line coach Larry Johnson and defensive backs coach Kerry Coombs watched him in person during the Patriots' spring scrimmage last week. That, plus his long-time relationship with wide receivers coach and area recruiter Zach Smith, was apparently enough for the Buckeyes to supplant the heavily favored Tigers.
Chatfield becomes the 11th member of Ohio State's 2018 recruiting class, joining five-star defensive tackle Taron Vincent, five-star quarterback Emory Jones, four-star offensive tackle Max Wray, four-star defensive end Brenton Cox, four-star linebacker Dallas Gant, four-star cornerback Sevyn Banks, four-star safeties Josh Proctor and Jaiden Woodbey, four-star running back Brian Snead and four-star all-purpose back Jaelen Gill.
Eleven Warriors will have more on Chatfield's pledge soon.
