CORVALLIS -- Former NFL player Blue Adams has been named defensive backs coach at Oregon State, Beaver head football coach Jonathan Smith announced Thursday. The appointment is contingent on the completion of all university hiring processes.
Adams most recently served two seasons as the secondary coach at the University of South Florida. He helped the Bulls to a pair of bowl games, including a victory in the 2017 Birmingham Bowl.
"Coach Adams is an excellent addition to our staff and his knowledge of our defensive scheme will make the transition seamless with our coaching staff and players," Smith said.
