Michael Gatewood Michael Gatewood 6'0" | PG Waxahachie | 2026 State TX is an explosive playmaking guard with the ability to take over games as a scorer when he finds rhythm. His quick first step separates him from defenders, allowing him to create paint touches and open looks for himself or teammates. Gatewood can get hot in a hurry, thriving in transition or isolation settings where his confidence and shot-making come alive. He brings energy and tempo to his team, constantly putting pressure on opposing defenses. Defensively, he’s active and disruptive on the ball, jumping passing lanes and igniting fast breaks with his anticipation. Gatewood projects as a high-upside piece for programs that thrive in pace-and-space systems.

✅ Explosive first step and creation burst
✅ Scoring versatility with microwave ability
✅ Active on-ball defense and transition energy
