Back in November, it was announced that star running back for the Tullahoma Middle School football team, Macc Chapin, received an invite to the All-American Exposure Bowl. He committed to playing in it, and it will take place in Orlando, Fla., on Jan. 18.

Chapin for the middle school Wildcats this season, put up insane numbers. In 2025, he had 1,682 scrimmage yards and 25 touchdowns. His ability to break out for big gains, truck past defenders, and bully his way into the endzone played a big part in Tullahoma having a one-loss season and claiming the CTC championship trophy. In the championship game against E.O. Coffman Middle School, he also showed his ability to perform in big moments. He had multiple touchdowns in the game, including a 91-yard TD run. This high-level play in his eighth-grade season made him more than worthy of being a part of the All-American Exposure Bowl.

This event features top players from all around the country, where there is a showcase game for the middle school level–the one Chapin is playing in–and one at the high school level. There should be many scouts there, which will help Chapin show his talents to important eyes that could play a part in his football career down the road.

With the departure of one of the greatest RBs in Tullahoma High School history, Marvancy Johnson Jr., when he graduates in 2026, it is great to see another potential great RB is waiting in the wings for the high school Wildcats with Chapin.
