Four-Star 2024 CB Cai Bates Includes Aggies in Top 10
It should be a busy summer in College Station ahead of summer visits and possible commitments as Aggies coach Jimbo Fisher and his staff attempt to build a winning program in 2023 and beyond.
As Texas A&M keeps the secondary a priority for the 2024 cycle, one of the main targets isย four-star cornerback Cai Bates out of Orlando, Florida, who is entering his senior season at Edgewater High School, his final 2023 campaign.
Bates released his top 10 list and to the excitement of Fisher and the Aggies, Texas A&M is included. Also on the list are Florida, Florida State, Tennessee, Alabama, LSU, Colorado, UFC, Ohio State, and Maryland.
As a former wide receiver, Bates' versatility is one reason he's garnering so much interest from top programs, as he's received more than 43 offers. During his junior season, he caught 17 passes for 241 yards and a touchdown while registering four interceptions and seven pass breakups as a two-way player.
Per On3, the 6-1, 177-pounder is positioned as the 19th-ranked cornerback and the 26th-ranked player in Florida. After offering him on March 21, Bates took an unofficial visit to College Station a week later, and even though an official visit has yet to be announced, an announcement could come at any time.
