Gates is a top talent in the state of Michigan and recently picked up two FutureCast predictions from SpartanMag writers Corey Robinson and Justin Thind.
Both reporters believe Gates Jr. will commit to Mel Tucker and the Michigan State Spartans.
The 6-foot-3, 185-pound wideout holds offers from Kentucky, Nebraska, Ole Miss, Southern Miss, Memphis, Cincinnati, Central Michigan, and Florida Atlantic.
According to 247Sports Composite, he is a top-3 recruit in Michigan and the No. 26 prospect at his position for 2022.
Nationally, he is the No. 218 overall player in his class.
Michigan State pursued him for months, offering Gates Jr. on April 3, 2020, clearly made a priority by Tucker.
Gates Jr. would be the first commit for MSU's 2022 recruiting class.
