Bates used his athleticism, skill and size beyond his years to stand out among the big boys — and picked up a scholarship offer from Fleck and the Gophers.
“It feels good that someone on coach Fleck’s level acknowledged what he was doing,” Bates’ father, Titus, told the Minnesota Star Tribune. “It doesn’t get bigger than that right now.”
The 6-4, 210-pound Bates fared well against older prospects Monday in front of Fleck and his Gophers assistants, including defensive line coach Dennis Dottin-Carter.
“He’ll keep working and showing everybody, especially Coach Fleck, that he made the right choice,” Titus Bates said. “We have been to Gophers games. We’ll plan to attend many more now. Row the boat.”
