Expert Predicts Michigan State Lands '22 WR Antonio Gates Jr.
Four-star wide receiver, Antonio Gates Jr., might be visiting East Lansing sometime this week to check out Michigan State's campus during the recruiting dead period.
His father, Antonio Gates, committed to MSU following his high school graduation before he transferred to Eastern Michigan and Kent State.
Gates was extremely successful in the NFL, making the Pro Bowl eight times (2004-2011).
So, the Spartans may be on his radar.
Monday morning, Allen Trieu, a national recruiting analyst for 247Sports, submitted a Crystal Ball predicting Gates Jr. would end up committing to Michigan State.
The Dearborn native holds offers from Arkansas, Buffalo, Central Michigan, Cincinnati, Coastal Carolina, Florida Atlantic, Nebraska, and Ole Miss.
According to 247Sports Composite Rankings, he is the No. 7 recruit in his home state and the No. 34 prospect at his position for 2022.
Last week, Gates Jr. announced he plans to commit and make his final decision on October 10.
Committing October 10🙏🏾
