About Avant
Expert Analysis
Zack Reyes | Prep Redzone Scout
Gates is one of the top two-way players still on the board from Nevada’s 2025 class and offers potential to develop into a playmaker in the secondary at the next level. Consistently makes plays on the ball with his combination of instincts, athleticism and ball skills. Anticipates throws and route progressions from his CB spot and is quick to close space downhill. Offers versatility in his ability to play from both S and CB alignments. Gates picked up an offer from UW-River Falls last summer and would be a great addition to any D-II or D-III program at this stage.
Extremely blessed to receive an offer from UW-River Falls! 🔴⚪️⚫️@CoachWalkerRF @UWRFFootball @CoachJustinBro @Foothillhsfb pic.twitter.com/UFDL4pBVCj

is another underrated Foothill Falcon on this list. The talented two-way prospect is sure to see more defensive attention in 2024. Avant’s length, quick feet, and next level explosiveness suggests he can thrive on the outside in college as a cornerback. Athleticism and power allow Avant to disrupt or intercept passes at the catchpoint. Good quickness, size, and strength gets displayed when Avant easily disrupts receivers in press coverage. Good shed technique and tackling ability in the run game highlights Avant’s versatility as a back-end defender.
