CLEMSON — Dabo Swinney and the other Clemson coaches call Keith Adams, Jr., “Hammer Head.”
“He is just unique. When he runs the ball, he punishes people,” Clemson’s head coach said. “He rarely ever gets stopped.”
However, one of those rare instances came in Saturday’s Orange & White Spring Game at Memorial Stadium. Adams took a handoff and hit the hole along the left side of the line and ran into a brick wall.
The brick wall was linebacker Jeremiah Alexander. The Alabama transfer stoned Adams and quickly brought him down.
“Thirty-five got up under him and it was kind of like two bulls running into each other.
