Caleb Bates gives Tiffin a veteran forward who can score in bunches and fight on the glass
In the 2025-26 season, Caleb Bates is a senior forward for Tiffin listed at 6-foot-7, 245 pounds, and he remains a steady frontcourt piece who can create offense without needing the ball every trip.[2][6] His recent form shows usable scoring pop—he posted 18 points in a February 26, 2026 game—and he has long been known as a reliable interior presence after earning First Team All-State honors in high school and building a strong JUCO résumé.[7][2] He looks like a fit for teams wanting toughness, experience, and physicality more than flash.[2][10]
