Trieu: Michigan State in good spot with 'special' Dearborn Fordson WR Antonio Gates Jr.

Dearborn Fordson junior Antonio Gates Jr. has set a commitment date of Oct. 10 and if the predictions from recruiting analysts hold true, that will be a good day for Michigan State.

As of now, the Spartans are the perceived favorite for Gates Jr., a 6-foot-3, 185-pound wide receiver rated a four-star prospect by 247Sports.

The Spartans offered in April. Just before that, he had received offers from Ole Miss, Memphis and more on the Sound Mind, Sound Body bus tour. Nebraska, Kentucky and others have also offered, but a life-long affinity for the Spartans in multiple sports as them high on his list.
