I've known Tate for a while, and while he has caused SOME of the reputation he got, especially early on, he is not the same 17-18 year old that was on a TV show & popping off on social media.

I wrote an article about what he has gone through, including battling depression, a year ago prior to him going to UNLV. He asked to WALK-ON to earn his place, but had multiple injuries last year that derailed him getting on the field more.

He is grateful for Marcus Arroyo and the school for giving him a opportunity and supporting him. He wishes he could've/would've played for him sooner.

Tate is a friend, we are close, and he has a great business opportunity that he has been working on for a while.
