Rivals: unlisted | 247: 0* | Scout: 0*
Traore was gaining interest from multiple schools and was showing great potential at Matignon High School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Forced to take a JUCO detour to Nassau C.C. for academic reasons, Traore has emerged again and now as one of the top JUCO offensive tackles. Traore was first offered by Arizona State on February 8. Traore pulled in more offers following the Sun Devils' in Iowa State, Louisville, UAB, South Carolina, Memphis, Houston, Pittsburgh, and Missouri.
