About Darryl
Expert Analysis
Sam Erman | Prep Redzone Scout
Gates continues to stand out and impress every time I see him. He was at the 7 on 7 games last month and dominated. He’s got a big frame, strong hands, and is a great redzone threat. He’s someone who knows how to use his frame in the tight areas and has no issue bringing the ball down through traffic.

Gates has a big frame and plays with a tough, physical edge that shows up at the catch point. I liked his strong hands, consistently securing the football through contact and finishing plays. He found the end zone multiple times over the weekend, proving to be a reliable red zone option. The size, strength, and play style give him real potential, especially as a matchup problem in tight areas.

Darryl was a shining piece for the Indy Chrome Maroon offense over the weekend. He’s a big target who can create space in the intermediate level. He has good hands and doesn’t seem to be scared of making difficult plays.

Darryl Gates is the next big thing to come out of Warren Central and I think he will be one of the top 2028 prospects in the state sooner rather than later. Really reminds me of New Palestine TE

: a great receiver with soft hands, creates separation well as a route runner. High-points the ball well with great body adjustment high and low. Can leap over defenders and be a legit threat over the MOF. High academic prospect and multi-sport athlete.

Read EvaluationBryan Ault | Prep Redzone Scout
Darryl Gates was a big-time standout and a prospect the Warren Central staff is very excited about. Gates looks the part with a big frame, long arms and a thick chest. His arm length is outstanding and he displays good burst downfield. Gates is very athletic and tall, using his size as a mismatch against opposing defensive backs. He displays great ball skills with the ability to high-point and win contested catches. Expect big things to come for this class of 2028 WR.
