Chapman makes his return to Huntington after serving in various capacities in college and professional athletics, as well as business.
He was in West Palm Beach, Florida for five years where he helped launch Sinclair Broadcast Group’s American Sports Network as an on-air host and Client Relations Manager. Prior to Florida, Chapman served as College Football analyst and Business Development Manager for Stadium Sports a digital sports network based in Chicago, Illinois.
Chapman was an on-air host and college football analyst with ESPN, CBS and the Big Ten Network for nearly a decade. He also spent 2010 on staff at Georgia Tech as an Academic Advisor for the football program.
After four seasons, which included a 2000 NFC Central Division championship as a running back with the Minnesota Vikings, Chapman suffered a career-ending injury in year five as a member of the San Diego Chargers. Upon retiring, he joined the NFL Players Association in Washington, D.C. Chapman served as the Assistant Salary Cap and Agent Administrator as well as content contributor for the NFLPA’s website.
Chapman was inducted to the Marshall Athletics Hall of Fame in 2010 after serving as a member of four conference championship teams (1996-99). He rushed for 4,382 yards and 64 touchdowns in an honor-filled career. The Chesterfield, Va., native rushed for 1,238 yards as a freshman for the undefeated 1996 NCAA Division I-AA national champions. By the time he ran for 133 yards and scored all three Thundering Herd touchdowns in a 21-3 win over Brigham Young in the 1999 Motor City Bowl – capping off a perfect 13-0 season and a No. 10 ranking in the final polls – he had helped Marshall to a 50-4 overall record and a 32-2 mark against conference competition, with one Southern Conference and three Mid-American Conference titles. In fact, Chapman saved some of his best performances for Marshall’s biggest games. He averaged 116.3 yards per game and scored nine touchdowns in the Thundering Herd’s 1996 FCS title contest victory over Montana and his ensuing three bowl appearances. A two-time first team All-MAC running back, Chapman was a third-round selection by the Vikings in the 2000 NFL Draft.
