The 6-foot-1, 230-pound promising prep revealed his plans via the following post on social media earlier this week:

As a mere sophomore last season, ShaMar Chilton recorded 56 tackles, 27 for a loss, 12 sacks, two forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery for a Westland Cougars squad that finished 8-3 overall and 6-1 in conference play.
