Noa Pola-Gates is one of the many top recruits that will visit Tuscaloosa for the annual champion’s cookout this weekend.
“I’m so excited to get back there,” Gates said. “My pops is going to be with us this time, so it is a big deal.”
Gates has only visited Alabama once. He hopes to make the most out of this visit and get an in-depth understanding of Alabama football and it’s culture.
“I want to retrace my steps from before, but ask more questions,” Gates added. “I also want to talk with more recruits.”
Alabama’s coaching staff has remained in contact with Gates and ensured him that they want him to be part of this class.
“Our communication is good,” Gates said. “I mostly talk to coach Lupoi and coach Scott. They’re talking commitment of course.”
The Arizona-native is a 4-Star recruit. He is ranked as the No.21 safety in the nation.
The Crimson Tide are in a good position with Gates and a commitment soon is not out of the question. He feels his parents will play a vital role in his decision.
“I need my parents to feel secure about letting me go away,” Gates said. “I also want to build and join a brotherhood that will last for the rest of my life.”
Alabama has a total of 16 commits in their 2019 recruiting class and a total of three defensive back commits. Touchdown Alabama Magazine will keep you updated on Gate’s recruitment.
