A 6’3″ outside hitter, Chalmers will join the team in the fall of 2019 with his freshman season set for the winter of 2020. He also chose UCSB over UC San Diego, who was his other finalist in the choice.

Individually he posted a .403 hitting percentage, 125 digs and 17 solo blocks. For his performance, he was named an All-Sunset League performer. Beyond his play on the volleyball court, Chalmers has also lettered in football and basketball with the school.
Standing at 6’4″, Chalmers was also named a 2018 VolleyballMag.com/TallSlim Tees Boys’ High School First-Team All-American. He was also on the 2018 USA Volleyball BJNC All-Tournament Team for his play with Balboa Bay 18 Blue.
