RECRUITING STATUS
ESN PLAYER EVALUATION/NOTES
Tate is an impressive prospect in the 2020 recruiting class. He is enormous at 6-8 315 pounds. He is a powerful run blocker that can wipe out a whole side of a defensive line sealing off the edge. He is quick off the snap and can bend which is amazing for how big he is. He overpowers and overwhelms defenders and they have no answers once he gets his hands on them. He has strong hands to redirect and control them, or just throw them down like a rag doll. As a pass blocker, he can get into his kick step quickly and his hands are inside ready to punch. He can mirror and stay in front of edge rushers and defensive ends that want to hoot the inside gap. He does need to continue to become more flexible and if he can get down to the 295 range he would be a national recruit. Power 5 prospect that has huge potential over the next 5 years.
Postseason Honors/Statistics/Other NOTES
2017 1st Team All-Ann Arbor News Offense, Detroit News All-Detroit West 2nd Team, All-SEC White Division Honorable Mention. He led his team in pancake blocks.
