Another Termite hits Clemson: Son of LB legend participates in camp

Another Termite was on the practice fields at Clemson recently and this one was doing damage with his legs.

Keith Adams, Jr., visited the campus for three days of head coach Dabo Swinney’s high school camp in mid-June, working with running backs coach Tony Elliott. The younger Adams is a 2022 prospect out of Cherokee (GA) Canton, a school that sits not too far from Atlanta.

Keith Adams, Sr, was a standout linebacker for the Tigers from 1998-2000. Nicknamed "The Termite” by his teammates because of his size, Adams terrorized opponents in 1999 when he registered 186 tackles (led the nation and set school record), had 35 tackles for loss (led the nation and set school record) and 16 sacks (second in the nation and set school record).
