Overview
- Reports on Tuesday say Adams has enrolled at Southern Methodist University and intends to join the Mustangs’ football program this fall.
- He stepped away from professional baseball after playing his last game for Triple-A Nashville on May 20 and being released by the Brewers’ affiliate on May 25.
- Adams was a five-star recruit in 2018 ranked among the nation’s top wide receivers and is 26 years old, which would make him older than most college teammates.
- A 2018 first-round pick by the Los Angeles Angels, Adams appeared in 38 major-league games with 13 hits and one home run and spent the bulk of his career in 678 minor-league games.
- Division I leaders are discussing a 'five-for-five' age-based eligibility model that would start a five-year clock after high school or a 19th birthday, a change that could bar future late-entry players and help explain why Adams enrolled now; past examples of pro-to-college football returns include Chris Weinke and Monte Harrison.
