They weren’t the only ones. Former quarterback Marquise Williams offered his support to Adams, calling him his little brother and welcoming him to the team.
Fellow class of 2018 recruits also congratulated their newest teammate with tweets.
Linebacker Payton Wilson and quarterback Tyler Shough were quick to show their support for Adams as they are now teammates.
For UNC, the commitment is a HUGE one. Adams is one of the better talents in the country and beating out a team like Clemson for him was big for the program.
Wide receivers coach Gunter Brewer was one happy man following the commitment and referenced a former UNC star in his tweet.
Adams is expected to play both baseball and football at UNC.
With another commitment in the 2018 class, UNC is off to good start recruiting-wise as they look to continue to build the program.
