Norcross RB D.J. Adams serves “mean orange chicken” to Maryland coach

When Norcross tailback D.J. Adams was visited recently by a Maryland assistant, his family showed some Southern hospitality. Adams has committed to Maryland.

“[Tom Brattan] has been one of the best recruiting coaches that I’ve come in contact with throughout this whole process,” Adams said. “Even after I committed to Maryland, he has been great. [Coaches] have treated me the same as when they were trying to get me.”

Adams’ mother, Karen Lawrence, treated Brattan well, too, showing him some Southern hospitality. Adams said his mother makes “some mean orange chicken,” which she served to the visiting coach. At dinner, they chatted about campus life, academics and football. Adams said the relationship he and his family have formed with Brattan was a crucial factor that led to him wanting to play for the Terrapins.
