Texas A&M’s 2024 recruiting class is one of the hottest growing cycles in the country. After adding 13 prospects since June, plenty of talented players remain uncommitted, including four-star cornerback Cai Bates, who recently announced his upcoming commitment on Wednesday, July 26.
Bates, who is currently positioned as the 103rd-ranked player in the 2024 cycle, the 9th-ranked cornerback, and the 17th-ranked player in Florida, released his Top 10 program list last month made up of Florida, Florida State, Tennessee, Alabama, LSU, Colorado, UCF, Ohio State, Maryland, and Texas A&M.
Standing at 6-2 and 180 pounds, Bate’s versatility as a former wide receiver is one of the primary reasons he has received over 43 offers so far, leading to his two-way player performance during his 2022 junior season, recording 17 receptions for 241 yards and one touchdown combined with four interceptions and seven pass breakups. His speed, length, and natural ball skills set him apart from an athletic standpoint, although he still needs time to adapt to the technical aspects of the position entirely.

After taking an unofficial visit to College Station on May 27, just six days after the Aggies fielded an offer, Texas A&M is on the outside looking in, as LSU holds a slight lead after recently hosting Bates in late June.
