Adam is the second leading rusher in school history and has a younger brother on the Bears squad this season.

I saw Adam just a few weeks ago against ISU. He was sitting a few rows behind us and I remember how excited he was seeing his little brother play football for the Bears. I remember when Asa (brother) picked off a pass during that game and Adam was exctatic! He was yelling out "That's my little brother! That's my little brother!!! Go Asa Go Asa!!!"

Adam was a very good player and spent some time on NFL squads and NFL Europe. He was part of the last very good team we had at UNC a few years ago.


Here's the link to the article on our website. Doesn't mention how he died.

I'm beginning to wonder if there is ever going to be any good news to come out of N. Colorado. Talk about a tough season.

I'm still in shock about this one. Still hasn't sunk in.
