Keith Adams Jr. is Clemson’s bruising, low-risk downhill RB with sneaky leverage
In the 2025 season, Keith Adams Jr. logged 14 carries for 71 yards and a touchdown in 11 games for Clemson, while his career line at Clemson through 2025 shows 58 carries for 274 yards and two scores across 32 games. He’s a compact 5-foot-9, 215-pound runner with a punishing style Clemson’s staff literally nicknamed “Hammerhead,” and his value shows up in the dirty work too—he posted a key lead block on a touchdown run against LSU. If you want a physical, dependable RB who embraces contact and doesn’t need the ball 20 times to affect a game, he’s your kind of back.
