Expert Analysis
Matt Tate | Prep Redzone Scout
Yates measures in at 5’7 155-pounds playing RB/OLB. Last season, he had 59 carries for 296 yards with 8 touchdowns, 13 receptions for 150 yards, 60 total tackles (23 solo, 37 assisted), 7 TFL, 1 INT, 1 FF, and 1 FR. Yates has good athletic ability due to good acceleration, speed, change of direction, and balance. Solid vision paired with good inside running. Solid outside running. Yates has shown to be a reliable target in the passing game. Good ball tracking and catching. I’m looking for him to take that next step in his development.

Read EvaluationRobert Davis | Prep Redzone Scout
Yates brings physicality and sound tackling to the back end, proving to be a reliable presence in the box. His 25 solo tackles last season highlight his ability to close space and finish plays in the open field. Whether filling interior gaps or forcing runs to the perimeter, Yates consistently executes his role with purpose. As he competes for a larger role this year, expect him to be a sneaky contributor with the potential to become a centerpiece on defense.
