UCLA shored up its future secondary with the addition of cornerback Elijah Gates.
Edward Lewis of Scout.com provided news of the 2017 recruit's decision:
Gates is considered the No. 11 player at his position in the country and No. 117 overall, according to Scout.com.
The 5'11", 170-pound cornerback showed off his speed and agility on the offensive end at times in his high school career, utilizing the type of athleticism that will only help when he focuses solely on the defensive side of the ball. He already has great cover skills with the instincts necessary to stick with most receivers at this level.
