Versatile Gamecock TE with Elite Athleticism and Blocking Grit
Jerell Adams, the 6-5 South Carolina tight end (2012-2015), exploded for career-high 28 receptions, 421 yards, and 3 TDs in 2015 despite a struggling Gamecock passing attack, capping a career of 66 catches for 977 yards and 7 scores over 47 games. His NFL Combine dominance—4.64 40-yard dash (1st among TEs), 32.5-inch vertical, and top shuttle times—highlights rare foot quickness and vertical threat ideal for exploiting Cover 2, while scouts praise his unexpected blocking tenacity in pass pro. A high school do-everything star (QB, DE, punter, basketball), he's a high-upside, multi-tool fit for teams needing athletic TE versatility beyond pure receiving.
