Chatfield appeared in 14 games and averaged 2.6 points, 1.4 assists, and 1.0 rebounds this past season. He even made a start this season for the Yellow Jackets in the latter part of the year as he gained more trust with the coaching staff. Chatfield was a three-star prospect coming out of high school and played for local powerhouse Pace Academy, where he became a star and a state champion. Here is more on him via his Georgia Tech bio. 

“Appeared in 14 games, earning the start at Notre Dame…Recorded his best offensive performance off the bench, adding eight points at Stanford on 4-of-8 shooting…In his first collegiate start, registered six points and dished out a season-high four assists against the Fighting Irish, while recording two steals…Pulled down a trio of rebounds at Stanford and against Virginia for season-bests.”

Only four players remain on the roster from the 2025-2026 season: Davi Remagen, Cole Kirouac, Kam Craft, and Dyllan Thompson. The Yellow Jackets have lost Akai Fleming, Jaeden Mustaf, Mouhammed Sylla, Brandon Stores, Baye Ndongo, and Peyton Marshall, among a long list of players who are no longer with the team. The portal is less than two days from opening, and it will be interesting to see the approach head coach Scott Cross takes.
