Osceola Recruiting Analyst Pat Burnham's First Impressions of Bates' HUDL highlights: "The first thing that jumps out is his ball skills. Whether it is on offense or defense he displays natural hands, high points and adjust to the ball well. He has really quick feet. Plays a lot of off-man coverage and can open up his hips and run. You would like to see him be more physical with wide receivers in press man coverage at the line of scrimmage. He has a slight frame but long arms. Not a ton of tape of him making tackles so it is hard to say if he is a guy that is versatile enough to play corner or safety at the college level."
