Why does he have to work hard on Sweat? I thought he was as solid as they come.

Rivals $

Video.


Stud. Another film showing how flawed national rankings truly are.

It's not going to get any more obvious to Rivals that he is a 5 star prospect but one can only hope. What isn't to like in that video? Great feet, frame, wingspan, drives through his blocks and finishes, and goes hard the whole time. The only time a defender doesn't get put into the turf is when they run away from Adams, which appeared to happen quite a bit. Mike is going to be a stud and Rivals is a rip.

Completely agree. however, that particular highlight did not show me how great adam is. the opponent players lined up against him were undersized compare to adam's frame. there's no way they stand a chance penetrating through adam to get to the back field. i would be more excited about his performance if and only if the competition is compared more fairly.
i believe he SHOULD be a five star prospect, BUT, just not from that particular film.

I can see your point but you can just see how he uses his size and how that will translate when he does face competition. I'm not sure but doesn't Jake Current play DE for Troy? (maybe just OL, not sure) If so, he was likely one of those getting dominated and he is a D1 player. In any case, his size, skill, and athleticism look to translate to the next level and higher competition very well.

Watched Adams tonight and came away extremely impressed. He dominated the competition (albeit struggling Westerville Central) and is a more amazing physical specimen live than in pictures.

He really appears to have improved his muscle mass between junior to senior year. Everytime I looked to see where he was, he was helping a kid off the ground he had just beat down.

Senior film.

Freak of nature.

Amazing...I think he might be the best tackle in the country, even better than Kalil. I really think he has improved in his run blocking this year and the only thing he seemed to struggle with was making good contact on his blocks when he made it to the next level. What a wingspan though...
