Yale OT AD Adelabu: High-upside, late-blooming lineman with elite academic polish
AD Adelabu is a Yale offensive tackle whose biggest calling card is not just size or position value, but his late-start football story, academic achievement, and leadership profile. He reportedly played football for the first time in his senior year of high school before heading to Yale, and Yale lists him as a three-time principal’s honor roll student, two-time scholar-athlete, and senior award winner for leadership and academics. That combination suggests a disciplined, coachable developmental prospect with strong upside and character fit for a program that values intelligence, growth, and toughness.
