Coach Dan Hunt on Adam: "Adam is just absolutely the reason for a medical redshirt and the strength you can show – he's the example of that. For him to come back from the injury at Navy, the first game, and have to sit out, not participate the rest of the season -- he's made so many plays for us this year. He's also a great leader of the defense and a great kid to be around. I know he's going to be successful. He's one of the hardest working people we've ever had. To see him be able to finish out on his terms is exactly why you want the redshirts."
