Michael McAdoo

[Volunteer_Kirby]

Weakside DE
Antioch (TN)
Ht: 6-foot-7
Wt: 220 lbs
Forty: 4.8 secs

Recently has offers from Kentucky, Tennessee, Ole Miss, South Carolina, Cincinnati, Vanderbilt and Middle Ten. State.

He still has plenty of room to grow into his 6-foot-7 frame, and adding strength will be key to his development, but after seeing him, many observers are struck by what they consider some serious upside.

Expect to hear more down the road, McAdoo's stock is rising quickly.

Yeah, he could be considered a sleeper. A little light, I think the kid could end up like Calais Campbell with his size at DE, especially if he grows a little more.

Notre Dame is interested too. I've seen this kid play and he was a beast coming off the edge on the pass rush.

I have seen him on the basketball court and he is a phenomenal athlete. He is thin at 6'7 but he has broad shoulders and will most certainly put on weight quickly in a top tier weight program.

Like I said, he seems alot like Campbell to me.

Campbell in HS-6'7" 225. 4.8 40
McAdoo in HS-6'7" 220. 4.8 40

According to the last article on him, his top 4 right now is North Carolina, Vandy, Ole Miss, South Carolina, in no particular order.

I think we can compete with those schools.

[KCVolLaw]

He's friends with Coker from high school as well so that may help us out.

I cant believe that we're not even in his top 4 right now, he def'll needs to beef up

McAdoo opens ’Dores
McAdoo, a 6-foot-7, 218-pound defensive end on the gridiron and center on the hardwood, is closer to settling on a sport than Williams.
He’s virtually certain his future lies in football.
“That’s where the big schools are right now,” McAdoo said. “They started picking up on me the beginning of my junior year, when they were coming to see my friend (UT Martin incoming freshman) Jeremy Buchanan.
“When they came to look at him, they saw a lot of me.”
McAdoo has tagged Vanderbilt as his frontrunner, although he also has offers from Tennessee, South Carolina, Ole Miss, Kentucky, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Memphis, MTSU, Indiana and Cincinnati.
Tennessee also has maintained an interest in McAdoo for basketball, though many of the larger Division I-A basketball schools recently have backed off because he is leaning heavily toward football. McAdoo knows playing college basketball would mean transitioning to small forward, which gives him hesitation.
Antioch basketball Coach B.K. Crowder said knowing McAdoo has a choice of two sports is a thrill.
“You don’t see too many kids that have that choice,” Crowder said. “The Bo Jackson, Deion Sanders thing of excelling in two sports is a rare thing, and hopefully Mike makes the best choice. I’ll support him either way.”
McAdoo plans to make unofficial football visits to Tennessee, South Carolina and North Carolina this month. The Commodores have a pair of factors working in their favor — McAdoo had family members attend Vanderbilt, and he is a close friend of incoming Vanderbilt freshman Jamie Graham of Whites Creek.
“A lot of coaches come in and see him listed at 6-6 to 6-7 and are expecting more like a 6-4 or 6-5 guy, but he is that big,” Antioch football Coach Mike Woodward said. “The first two plays of his highlight tape, they see him running backs down, and that’s when they say they’ve usually seen enough and offer him.
“He can easily put weight on once he gets on campus, but he’s always going to have that long, lean body that’s tough for an offensive tackle to get his hands on.”

It's pretty bad when you need DE's really bad and you can't even get the in state guys. I just don't get it!

We didn't get him because we did not push for him. If we went all out of him I think he was ours. But we never pushed for him.
