is oddly under the radar. The 5’10 185 pounder not only plays massive range for his size, but the length he can hold steady on pass coverage is another impressive feat he’s put out on tape in his senior season. The athleticism pops highly off the charts especially with the vertical Tate shows off in the air. Sure, he might on the smaller end of DB size, but no doubt from me can this kid play at the D2 level and would be an incredible steal at NAIA, where he has offers at the moment.

, who by the first look of his midseason tape has a high football IQ that doesn’t take long to see.
-One of the best defensive backs against the deep ball in my eyes the state has to offer as Tate is always instinctive when the ball is nearby with his ball-tracking ability.
-A weapon on all three-level of the field that holds three NAIA offers at the moment.
-In our eyes, Tate should get more attention in the NSIC in the coming but could surely be a steal in the Frontier or GPAC.
