Now, he has made his commitment to BYU, with the Cougars beating out Michigan State, Utah and Missouri. At one point, a top prospect on Michigan State's 2026 recruiting board, Gates officially visited Michigan State on the second weekend of June. At this point in time, though, the Spartans hold six defensive back commitments in the class, filling up and making the fit with Gates not likely.
