Maryland recruit D.J. Adams won’t visit the school again until the homecoming game against Florida State on Nov. 22, but he is keeping an eye on his 4-2 Terrapins.
He has watched three games on television.
“I’m looking at the talent, as far as the defenses we play in the ACC,” the Norcross running back said. “I’m also looking at the running backs, their talent level and the depth of the running backs.”
Maryland’s top two running backs are a sophomore and a freshman, but Adams was told during the recruiting process that he could see playing time as a freshman.
That was a small factor in his decision to choose Maryland.
Still, other schools continue to contact Adams, who has rushed for nearly 600 yards and seven touchdowns in five games this season. LSU, Kentucky, Rutgers and others call, e-mail or send letters to the 5-10, 212-pounder.
“It doesn’t bother me,” Adams said. “I really don’t respond. It’s just kind of one of those things. I am definitely firm on Maryland.”
Adams committed in early August so that he could focus on the season, and he said he’s enjoying taking on a leadership role as a senior. “It’s weird now being the oldest in the huddle,” he said. “At first it was a bit of a change, but it’s pretty cool being able to know that guys look up to me and just kind of leading by example.”
Norcross, the defending region 7-AAAAA champs, currently are in fourth place (2-1), but have games remaining against two of the three undefeated teams ahead of them.
