He led the ECC in rebounding, averaging 10.7 per game and assists per game (6.2). In total, he has scored more than 1,000 points in his high school career. He was named ECC Defensive Player of the Year and SWO District Player of the Year by Ohio Sportswriters.

This past season, after not playing football since middle school, Chandler returned to the gridiron with the Raptors and immediately left his mark. On defensive, he racked up 73 tackles (30 of them solo tackles), plus 2.5 sacks and an interception. He had 15.5 tackles for loss. He was named first-team all-ECC, first-team all-city Div. II (Enquirer) and second team all-Southwest Ohio District in Division II. The Raptors were regional runners-up.

A good student with 200+ hours of community service, Chandler has chosen to continue his academic and athletic career at the University of West Virginia. His favorite athlete is LeBron James, favorite entertainer is Kevin Hart, favorite book is 1984, favorite movie is Transformers and most-like-to-meet is Jay-Z.

COACH'S QUOTE – "Competitiveness, passion, and Intensity define Chandler's game. He is a high-level scorer and rebounder but what seems to set him apart is his understanding of the game, and his ability to make others around him better!"
— Frank Brandy, Varsity Basketball Coach
