In effect, Adams was among the last generation of pre-Russell Wilson quarterback casualties—dynamic players whose height either mandated a position change if they wanted to play high-level college football or forced them compete below their skill level if they insisted on staying under center. Adams' experience stands in stark contrast to this past recruiting cycle, when one of the foremost storylines was a fearsome local tug-of-war between Texas A&M and Texas over Kyler Murray, a 5-foot-11 quarterback from Allen, Texas. Could that have happened to Adams had he come along just four years later, with USC and UCLA substituted for the Texas schools? It's a question without an answer, although it speaks to how much has changed that both the Longhorns and Bruins reportedly vied for his services along with Oregon.
