When Fort Lauderdale American Heritage four-star defensive end Andrew Chatfield committed to Ohio State in June, there were a few glaring omissions on his long list of offers, including Florida, Florida State and Miami.
But now that the Gators have finally extended a scholarship offer, which was first reported ahead of their own rendition of Friday Night Lights and made official on Aug. 1, Chatfield has decided to reopen his recruitment on Monday night.

The 6-foot-2, 221-pound Chatfield is considered the 14th-best defensive end an No. 299 prospect overall. He pledged his services to the Buckeyes after defensive line coach Larry Johnson watched him and the Patriots scrimmage and subsequently offered in late May.
His decision leaves Georgia five-star defensive end Brenton Cox as the only committed prospect at the position. With that said, Buckeyes remain the favorites for five-star Micah Parsons and four-star Tyreke Smith. New Jersey four-star Jayson Oweh is among the staff's top targets, as well.
