Chucky Yates was a fixture at the shortstop position for the Scots during his four years (1994-1998) at Maryville College. A superb base-stealer, Yates led the nation with 46 stolen bases in 1995 and finished second with 39 in 1997. He concluded his career with 151 stolen bases. Yates also was a threat at the plate, finishing with a .341 career batting average. In 1995, he finished as the eighth-toughest player to strike out in Division III, fanning just three times in 142 at bats.

A 1998 graduate of Maryville College, Yates and his wife, Vanessa, have owned Concrete Craft of Knoxville since 2016.
