Expert Analysis

Max Karduck

Prep Redzone Scout

Shammai Gates Shammai Gates 5'9" | 175 lbs | ATH Louisville Male | 2024 State KY is an insanely strong runner who can create running gaps in the defense through his agile cuts and brute strength. Gates had an excellent performance for his Louisville Male High School offense. In his last game against Bullitt East High School, Gates took 17 carries for 164 rushing yards and 2 rushing touchdowns. Shammai put on an absolute clinic with yards after initial contact in that game. Most plays would end up having Gates gain at least 5+ yards after being hit by multiple defenders. Shammai’s strength and quick acceleration enable him to maintain his speed and keep himself away from more defenders. I believe he will continue to light it up when the postseason starts.

Male should consider themselves very lucky as they have two Division 1 caliber wide receivers on offense in Gainey and his teammate, Shammai Gates Shammai Gates 5'9" | 175 lbs | ATH Louisville Male | 2024 State KY . Gates is an impressive route runner, using a quick release to create separation off the line of scrimmage. He also is a very reliable deep threat as he has the speed to run by defenders and is able to use his athleticism to go up and catch contested jump balls on a frequent basis. Gates has also shown the ability to use his speed and elusiveness to turn screens and short passes into big gains. Shammai currently holds offers from Southeast Missouri State and Eastern Kentucky but I expect more to come over the next two years as he is a true Division 1 talent.
