After his stellar season, Gates was named runner-up for the Mr. Basketball of Michigan award to Dane Fife.

Originally, Gates enrolled at Michigan State University wanting to play football under then-coach Nick Saban as well as basketball under coach Tom Izzo but upon enrolling Saban wanted him to play only football.
As a coach in the National Football League he has coached in the NFC Championship Game, The AFC Championship Game, three Pro Bowl Games (once as an Offensive Line Coach and twice as the Tight Ends Coach) and has been instrumental in the development of two of the top tight ends to ever play in the NFL: Alge Crumpler of the Atlanta Falcons and Antonio Gates of the San Diego Chargers.
He struggled at times during training camp, and teammate Antonio Gates envisioned that Allen in 2013 would play behind Eddie Royal, Vincent Brown, Malcom Floyd, and Danario Alexander.
Kent State enjoyed its best season in 2001-2002, led by seniors Trevor Huffman, Andrew Mitchell, Demetric Shaw, and Eric Thomas and junior transfer (and future NFL star) Antonio Gates.
