247 Sports has Bates rated as the 10th-best player from Ohio and the ninth-ranked tight end in 2018. He holds offers from West Virginia, Minnesota, Pitt, Indiana, Duke, Louisville, Iowa and Maryland among others.

This pledge also gives Kentucky a top-15 class in 2018 that should only climb higher in the coming weeks...
