He is the No. 12 defensive lineman in the class, per 247Sports Composite, and he becomes the second highest-rated recruit in coach Dabo Swinney's 2025 class. Running back Gideon Davidson, out of Liberty Christian Academy in Virginia , is No. 1 among Clemson commits.
Clemson defensive coordinator Wes Goodwin and defensive tackles coach Nick Eason attended Adams' game Saturday when South Florence played for the state championship, as did numerous South Carolina coaches. Adams was wearing Clemson gloves during the game, an early indicator of where he would commit the next day.
Adams had been on an unofficial visit to South Carolina when Clemson beat the Gamecocks 16-7 in Week 13.
