Aaron Gates

The four-star cornerback committed to Florida has been on the minds of Michigan fans for the entire season. He has made countless visits to Ann Arbor, and there have been multiple times where it seemed like he was on the verge of flipping, only to cool on the Wolverines.

To me, it seems like Florida has engraved itself on Gates. Gates tore his ACL during his senior season, and Florida was with him throughout his recovery. Along with that, Florida obviously offers better NIL than the Wolverines right now.

While I do believe Gates loves the Wolverines, the relationships he has with the Florida staff seems to be too much. I have lots of respect for Gates and hope for the best throughout his career. The gators have been there for Gates throughout the entire process, so it’s impossible to say that Gates is making a mistake.

The prediction? Florida. Gates would be a great get, but all signs point to Florida.
