Carnell Tate transferred to IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., before the start of his junior season. He attended Marist High School outside of Chicago as a freshman and sophomore. His sophomore season at Marist was wiped out because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Tate said the decision to transfer to IMG was made to help him get ready for big-time college football. “IMG helps me prepare for the next level faster,” Tate said. “It was a tough decision, but I have no regrets. It was the right decision for me.” Tate plans on majoring in business and finance. His father, Sean Tate, went to school at Alabama A&M. His mother is Ashley Griggs. His siblings are Re'asia, Re'niyah, and Akayla. He lists playing video games as his hobby.
