Rivals: ★ ★; Scout: ★ ★ ★

What John Clay says: Adams played quarterback in high school, but will play wide out at UK. Scout rated him as the nation’s No. 55 quarterback, but appears to be a terrific athlete. Is a 4.4 guy who could return punts.

What UK says: A quarterback in high school who projects as a wide receiver on the collegiate level … Has excellent height and speed, having been as timed as fast as 4.4 seconds in the 40-yard dash … Was a dual-threat quarterback at South Forsyth High School in Cumming, Ga. … Second-team all-region as a junior … Rushed for 646 yards and six touchdowns while passing for 1,137 yards and six TDs … Also returned punts … Listed as the nation's No. 55 quarterback by Scout.com … Coached by Wendell Early.

What Rich Brooks says: “Brian Adams is a tremendous athlete who played quarterback and was an outstanding runner. We actually had him in camp and were very impressed with his speed, size and athletic ability. I think that he will be a guy that can come in and give us a very tall, athletic and fast receiver.”
