Carnell Tate, the No. 3 wide receiver in the Class of 2023, has named his top 5, and it includes 3 SEC programs.
Tate, who is from Bradenton, Florida (IMG Academy), is rated the No. 21 player in the class, and the No. 7 player in the state of Florida, according to 247Sports Composite. Tate listed Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Ohio State and Notre Dame as his top 5.
He is 6-foot-2 and 185 pounds and has a reported 37 offers.
Here is his scouting report from 247Sports:
The type of wide receiver that always seems to be open. Creates plenty of separation at the line of scrimmage and is able to beat both zone and man coverage once underway. Superb body control and large 10-inch hands allow him to make extremely difficult catches look relatively easy. Competitive not only at the catch point, but also once the ball is in his hands as he will fight to pick up additional yardage. Owns a rather slender build now, but should eventually carry 195 pounds or more. Has experience working both inside and outside. Shifty enough in the open field to be featured as a return man, as well. Started prep career off in Chicago before transferring into IMG Academy. Instantly became a top target for the defending national champions and scored touchdown after touchdown as a junior. Has posted impressive numbers before in both the short shuttle and vertical jump. Might not be a 4.4 guy on the stopwatch, but likely to only get more explosive once frequenting a college weight room. Should be viewed as one of the top pass catchers in a deep 2023 wide receiver class and a potential all-conference type of player for a Top 25 program. Ability to consistently shake defenders and generate big plays will eventually have him on the radar of NFL scouts.
