Yates, who was ranked as the 12th best high school senior in the U.S. by InterMat, won three state titles at Hesperia High School. He compiled a high school record of 248-9. This past season, Yates went 63-1 en route to winning his third state title.
In April, Yates won the 2009 NHSCA Senior Nationals title at 160 pounds, which included victory in the finals over No. 14-ranked senior John Nicholson of Des Moines, Iowa.
Yates joins a recruiting class that includes InterMat top 100 recruits Eric Grajales of Brandon High School in Florida, who was ranked No. 2, and Sean Boyle of Blair Academy in New Jersey, who was ranked No. 32.
He will sign his National Letter of Intent when he returns from the 2009 AAU Scholastic Duals in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.
