Towering 6-6 Sophomore OL Anchor for East Texas A&M Lions
At 6-6 and 285 lbs, sophomore Cole Cates brings rare length and size to the Lions' offensive line, offering elite leverage and reach that pancakes defenders in pass protection and run blocking—perfect for teams needing a mauler in the trenches.[2] Hailing from Lone Oak HS in Texas, this FCS riser from a program with solid academic chops (fall 2023 team GPAs shining) shows discipline and coachability beyond the stat sheet.[5] No injury flags or game logs spotlighted yet in 2024, but his frame screams NFL upside; snag him if you run power schemes—he's the plug-and-play road-grader your line craves.[3]
