6-2, 180-pound Spencer Adams has become one of the most highly recruited defensive back prospects in the nation. One of Butler High School’s (Matthews, N.C.) talented trio of defensive backs, it is Adams’ athleticism and speed – he is a top track athlete as well – that have college coaches from around the country vying for his signature.

“It’s going pretty good,” Adams said of his recruitment. “I’m not really rushing anything. I’m just letting the coaches communicate with me and I’m listening to what they have to say. It feels good to be highly recruited…to know I have so many options.”

In his junior season, Adams, who plays safety for head coach Mike Newsome, tallied over 100 tackles and made three interceptions. Newsome says Adams’ strength is his ability to “cover a lot of ground quickly.”

In track, the star athlete excels in the 110-meter and 300-meter hurdles (he recently set a state record in the 300). He earned the right to compete in nationals with his performance this season (he will compete in the 110-meter and 400-meter hurdles in nationals. North Carolina only has a 300-meter hurdle event).
