I’m from Las Vegas and I was in High School around the same time Tate was and his issue was that he was only elite in high school. That Bishop Gorman squad he had was ridiculous and it didn’t require him to evolve his game. I think social media needs to chill on making stars out of kids because they can ball out on other kids. We all know its different to actually ball out on grown men it just sets the kid up for a big fall. And on a second side note a big shoutout to Desert Pines it’s a school deep in the ghetto who’s been amazing at producing high level college athletes.

[@jamesjordan8761]

Everyone in HS already knew tate was undersized but the things he could do when he wasn’t playing bonanza or centennial or arbor was impressive

[@GoldenDoggo]

Hey! I currently go to Gorman, still viewed as the best qb we've ever had pretty much but he absolutely was carried by talent. I mean, one of the TEs he played with (Brevin Jordan) is now in the NFL. Great hs player but terrible in college. Never even started a single game, not even for the Rebels

[@tokouce]

@@GoldenDoggo i thought Anu Solomon was better. no shade at tate, he did his thing, but i felt anu made way better plays (especially throwing)

[@GoldenDoggo]

@@tokouce idk, at least presently some of the students regard tate as probably the best qb we've had. I never watched either of them personally tho so I can't really say who I think was better.

FlemLo doesn't have to buy plane tickets for a film crew to do interviews. He doesn't have to wait for researchers to dig through university records.

Sick video Flem.. I’m actually interested in the Todd Maranovich story (unsure if I spelled that correct) I know ESPN did a 30 for 30 on him but I was kinda young and never got to see it! Could you possibly go into that?

[@KWCline91]

If you have Hulu, you can go to the ESPN special and watch it.

[@garrettjoseph7236]

the crime in sports podcast has a great episode about him

[@lstealth]

He was the best qb ever , just thst he got into hard drugs.

[@toddheywood8837]

You produce nothing but the best. Your such a insightful, intelligent young man. Your soooo right about the handbook for parenting. That is the hardest job out there. Props to all you parents. Keep the great videos coming

[@yoyo41210]

He had a legendary high school career and got beat out by college all-timers at OSU. Nothing to be ashamed of! Not everyone can be a starting NFL QB.

[@rinowatson]

Or college lol

[@yoyo41210]

@@rinowatson right! He should’ve transferred after his first year but his pride won out.

[@TzUuup]

@@yoyo41210 come on man that was just shit luck. None of new they qb room he was stepping I to at the time. Got dam look at what Joe burrow had to do to get where he's at. I thought tate talked too much on Twitter and should've battled it out with Justin fields.

[@teeboogajoint3]

Been a huge fan going on 4 years strong , been locked in wit U Flemlo since the first time stumbling on your page . Keep us laced with these dope videos man glad to be apart of the gang . Que da wayneeeeee 🎉🎉 !!

[@JaredB12]

Does anyone know why he keeps calling him “Martell Tate”?

[@__yklim]

No clue

[@mrseaofweeds9946]

He says names backwards like my father in law😂

[@lukedumont5737]

Great Vid Flemlo I swear you never miss you are always on point with these

[@killerjunior2587]

Love your content

[@FlemLoRaps]

thanks bro

[@killerjunior2587]

You welcome fam

[@nolanbayer7097]

Flemlo hasn't been on my KZbin timeline in a while so when this popped up I watched the whole thing and wow. What a story teller. I almost forgot

[@XboxFanatic14]

Played against Bishop Gorman when Tate was their QB at a summer camp at Boise State and they had some of the biggest athletes and granted I’m about 6’6” and weighed around 270 as a sophomore in high school and their line backers were also close to my size 🤣 we got crushed in the scrimmage lol

[@roarbertbearatheon8565]

Where do they grow kids that big, goddamn

[@Flesson19]

Flemlo, the music, the commentary, and your wise observations make these so insightful. I love your work...all the best

[@weedyguitarstudio1715]

Great video what luck he had to go up against all those great QBs in college he should have studied the depth charts at his position better before committing to Ohio State

[@Phillyautomattic]

Man I love the detail an passion that he shows in almost every video he post legit needs to be paid by one of these big media companies to tell these stories!!!

[@baparsanko]

That Martell Tate...

[@VintageBags]

Best channel on KZbin for all types of football info I can listen for hours on end thank you for all your excellent work

[@j.rivera6402]

I don’t get why people feel sorry for this guy. He had all the support systems in the world. He came from money. He went to a powerhouse high school. Many athletes come up and go pro, with far less. The guy was entitled and thought his shit smelled like roses.

[@togm5908]

I feel bad for that poor kid who only way out was football, but they end up fucking it up in college not these rich asses dudes

[@ayeesaapyt9181]

Mo thanks for making inspiring short movies about something unfortunate, you always mention more life to live and it’s amazing how you tell it how it is! Been feeling down and this shows everyone has their own problems and can face them if they want! You the man

[@morethanmeetstheeye0]

Huge fan of Martell after watching QB1. Highschool phenom, sucks it didn’t work out for him

[@FlemLoRaps]

he was cold in high school. i go through his numbers in the video...they're insane

[@mitch599]

The spencer rattler video in 2 years gonna be goated

[@CodeineAbdulJabbar]

16:40 “Martell Tate”

[@PD_Swag]

Brooo it’s been a while since I’ve seen one of your videos and man you’ve gotten so good! Keep it up man this content is gold!!! 🔥

[@dragonboy141]

I feel the rise of Johnny Manziel made the hype train for Tate go crazy. As he was seen as the next coming of Johnny.

[@matthewwelsh294]

For once, Manziel was the better QB 😂 😂

[@TreversYouTubeChannel]

Hey man! Huge fan, been watching your videos for years. Not sure if this matters but I figured I’d mention it just in case. At first glance when I saw this video thumbnail pop up in my feed, the red line across the bottom tricked me into thinking I’d already watched this at first. I actually scrolled down past it before I did a double-take and realized this was new and I hadn’t seen it yet. Not sure if this matters but I just wanted to let ya know in case it’s happening to anybody else who at first glance is convinced they already saw your video and don’t click. I could be overthinking this lol

[@tylerharrald4703]

“These kids don’t come with a damn owners manual” 😂😂😂 This is why I love FlemLo

[@DontLikeReeboks93]

Man thanks so much for this upload, I’m the same age as Tate and have followed him since HS. Sad story man, but hopefully he finds his way and does whatever makes him happy

[@NfHeru]

Bruh just him going to osu is what ruined him and guess what almost ruined burrow had he not transferred. But in tates case he had an already proven college QB in a guy like deriq king transfer to the same school its just bad luck. I agree texas a&m wouldve been better and idk if oregon gave him an offer or not but that wouldve been better too. Honestly I disagree with Flo with the fact that tate wanted fame more then being like Joe burrow. I think he wanted exactly what joe got which was a team that actually believed in him and built an offense for him. i just feel like he had a bad run of luck. Choosing both of the colleges he did just didnt work out. He shouldnt have switched positions when he got to Miami even though he got outplayed he couldve done what Malik Willis did which was go to a school no one knew of and balled out. He had way more eyes on him and wouldve been a first one mock draft QB like willis. Yes this new qb class coming into the draft is week but tate had the clout and fame to still make him one if he aimed lower.

[@IllMatic97]

This comment is nothing but cap. I knew there was gonna be some goober in this comment section blaming Ohio State for something using Joe burrow as the worst example possible.

[@NfHeru]

@@IllMatic97 wasnt saying he could be as good as burrow all i pointed out was thats how talented the QB room was. I said he shouldve done what Malik Willis did and go to a small school. How about you read the comment before saying ignorant shit?

[@Mr_Jolux]

I’ve been on KZbin for a very long time and I’ve only subbed to like 3 or 4 things lmao man’s really on another level with story telling

[@matthewmayle0711]

U kept calling him Martell Tate... 😆....

EXCELLENT STORYTELLING! So much insight. Thank you

When Justin left I honestly felt like we had missed our chance to finally get over on Bama. Then out of the shadows came Stetson.....Go Dawgs

Rooting for UGA to keep it going!! Would love to see a new top “dawg” in the SEC
