Jordan Adams

Quarterback...6-3...195...Santee, Calif.  (West Hills HS/Grossmont College)

Junior-college transfer Jordan Adams is one of three quarterbacks in Nebraska's 2004 recruiting class. Adams played at Grossmont Community College in El Cajon, Calif., this past season and will have four seasons to complete three years of eligibility at Nebraska. Adams shared time at quarterback for Grossmont and Head Coach Dave Jordan, which finished the 2003 campaign with a 13-1 record. Grossmont reached the California state championship contest, where it lost a 38-35 contest to the City College of San Francisco. Adams enjoyed an outstanding effort in that contest, coming off the bench to throw for 347 yards and three touchdowns. Grossmont trailed 21-0 when Adams entered the game to replace the injured starting quarterback. Adams started just one game last fall, but made the most of the appearance. He completed a school-record 30 passes (42 attempts) for a Grossmont single-game record 531 yards and four touchdowns in a victory over Antelope Valley (Calif.) College that closed a perfect regular season. On the year, Adams finished with more than 1,300 yards and 13 touchdowns, while completing 67 percent of his passes. As a high school senior, Adams led West Hills High School to a 9-1 record, when he connected on 65 percent of his passes for 2,164 yards and 22 touchdowns. Adams also saw extensive time at quarterback as a junior, when he started four games for Coach Steve Sutton's squad. He was also his team's place-kicker and punter during his senior year, and connected on 33-of-34 PATs and made eight field goals, with a long punt of 63 yards. As a senior, Adams earned Grossmont North first-team all-league honors and second-team All-East County honors. He was East County's leading passer as a senior, was named his team's special teams MVP and was the San Diego Union-Tribune's September 2001 Athlete of the Month. Adams, who also played one year of baseball in high school, is strong in the classroom. He was named to the Grossmont CC Dean's List in the fall of 2003, and was on the S.D. Union-Tribune 2001-02 All-Academic Team. Adams is the son of John and Dawn Adams and was born on June 7, 1984.

Why Nebraska? ? "Nebraska has a great football tradition and an amazing streak of consecutive sellouts. It is an unbelievable opportunity to have a chance to play for Coach Callahan. The fact they are bringing in the West Coast Offense is very exciting."
