Sam Adams, 2020 Running Back - Rivals

Sam Adams II, Eastside Catholic, Running Back

 

[Ron Swanson]

Sammamish, Washington running back Sam Adams has a name most football fans are very familiar with. The son of former NFL defensive tackle Sam Adams, the younger Adams is an explosive athlete who showcases plenty of skills as a running back. "He has been through the process so he and my brother are helping every step of the way," Adams said. "They are explaining and making me feel comfortable through the process."

'Schools that really want me reach out all the time," Adams said. "That makes it pretty easy to see who really wants me. Some schools don't even reach out anymore. Schools that I've visited and not visited help and then relationships I'm building with the coaching staff. Adams recently made a trip east and visited both Georgia and Clemson. Instead of swinging up to Tennessee for a quick visit, the Vols want him back on Rocky Top for an extended stay to give them a strong look. Adams points out that tight ends coach Brian Niedermeyer makes him feel like a top priority for the Vols.

"Coach Niedermeyer is my connection to Tennessee," Adams said. "His interest shows me they want me because he recruits me hard. I've never been there. I'm learning more about Tennessee. I'm planning on getting out to Tennessee here soon. Coach Niedermeyer shares facts about Tennessee." One of the best recruiters in the country, Niedermeyer does it with a big personality and ability to communicate with today's prospects. "To me he is really funny and outgoing," Adams said. "I'm really comfortable with him. That's something that I really like. He tells me I'm a dynamic player that can play on both sides of the ball. They want me as a running back though."

Adams is a bigger back at 6-foot-2 and 200 pounds. He showcases a smooth long stride that turns into really good speed. All that is nice, but his best two attributes are something he's very proud of and something he's been working on for a long time. "I say that my change of direction and vision are really good," Adams said. "I try to focus on and have been focusing on since I was a little kid playing football. That's my two biggest assets."

Ted Bundy visited there once.

Why are we ignoring that he's from a town called Sammamish.

Gotta let the beer and relative of thing play out first..

 

[GoVolsDR]

A bruiser with nice top end speed. He just runs through the defenders, and doesn't need to wait for the hole to open up. He takes the handoff and shifts into top gear. When he's in the open field, he has shifty hips and can make his opponent miss (3:30 on his Hudl - looks like he's on an And1 mixtape breaking ankles).

Would love it if we could get a star RB from one of Seattle's powerhouse programs, right in UW's backyard.

We're almost to the part were someone starts talking about fluid hips and stuff... Then the town name comes after that... Oh wait...

I was not aware of this. Why thank you.

 

[Volfansince1980]

Always a good choice.

 

[Seattle Hillbilly]

Too tall. Should move to tight end.

Too soon?

[BigOrangeTrain]

Film looks good. Seems to have good foot work and decent speed for his size. Good offer list as well.

You make do with what you have. I kind of like the fact that the Boston beer joint owner was a founding father of the country. Robert Kraft needs a place to pick up his hookers.
