Contents

College career

After using a redshirt season in 2015, Adams played college football for the Western Carolina Catamounts from 2016 to 2019. [1] He played in 44 games with the team where he finished as the program's all-time leader in pass completions (739), pass attempts (1,172), passing yards (8,978), passing touchdowns (64), and total offensive yards (11,525). [1] [2] He also finished fifth in program history in career rushing yards with 2,547, which was also the most by a quarterback. [1]

Professional career

Salina Liberty

Adams played for the Salina Liberty of Champions Indoor Football (CIF) from 2021 to 2022. [3] In 2021, he completed 83 of 117 pass attempts for 944 yards with 25 touchdowns and three interceptions while being named the CIF offensive rookie of the year. [2] [3]

Ottawa Redblacks

On April 21, 2022, it was announced that Adams had signed with the Ottawa Redblacks. [4] Following 2022 training camp, he made the team's active roster as the third-string quarterback and dressed for his first CFL game on June 10, 2022, against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. [5] Aside from being used in short yardage situations, he saw his first meaningful game action in the final game of the regular season on October 29, 2022, where he completed eight of 12 passes for 98 yards and had three rush attempts for 30 yards. [5] He dressed in six regular season games in 2022 while spending the rest of the season on the practice roster. [5]

In 2023, Adams once again began the season as the team's third string quarterback. However, as starting quarterback Jeremiah Masoli was not healthy to begin the season and backup Nick Arbuckle struggled, Adams was called into action in Week 2. [6] He completed seven of 13 pass attempts for 88 yards. He was announced as the team's starting quarterback for Week 4. [7] In his first career start, on June 30, 2023, Adams completed 14 of 20 pass attempts for 185 yards and one touchdown and had three carries for 31 yards to lead the Redblacks to a victory over the Edmonton Elks. [8] On July 5, 2023, the Redblacks announced that Adams would miss the remainder of the season with a torn ACL. [9]

Personal life

Adams was born to parents Nikki and Andrico Adams. [1] He has an older sister, Ciara, and a younger brother, Anquan. [1]
