Adams was a long-time Vanderbilt commit from the Nashville area who was contacted by Georgia Tech late in the recruiting cycle. He hails from Brentwood Academy, a school well known for producing major college football talent. Most recently, Brentwood produced FSU CB/S Jalen Ramsey, who is projected as a Top 5 pick in this year's NFL draft. Adams visited Tech on January 15, then visited Vanderbilt the following weekend. He left Vanderbilt without reaffirming his commitment, and flipped to Georgia Tech soon after. Adams inexplicably had a limited offer sheet, with only 3 reported Power 5 offers from Georgia Tech, Vanderbilt, and Kansas.
