Five-star defensive tackle Corey Adams has pared down his college choices to Arizona State and Ohio State.
Scottsdale Saguaro’s standout had previously been considering Southern California, but Saguaro coach John Sanders said Friday the Trojans are out of the running.
“S.C. is out,” Sanders said. “I told Corey to call Pete Carroll and wish best of luck to him.”
Sanders believes the departure of defensive coordinator Nick Holt to Washington played a role, although it wasn’t the only determining factor.
Adams will make his decision on National Letter of Intent signing day, which is Feb. 4.
Ohio State said it would wait past that deadline if Adams still couldn’t decide, but Sanders said that won’t be necessary.
“It won’t happen before, and it won’t happen after,” Sanders said.
Adams has been mum on his choice, though Sanders thinks he is leaning towards Arizona State. Sanders said Adams’ father didn’t even know the direction he was leaning.
Tennessee and Washington have been trying to get Adams to use his final visit to their campuses, but he likely won’t use it. Tennessee’s connection is through Monte Kiffin (the father of head coach, Lane Kiffin), who knows Sanders from the USFL.
Washington’s new staff is trying to get in on Adams after the relationship he built with some of them, including Holt, at USC.
But it’s unlikely Adams will be interested in either.
“It’s Ohio State or ASU,” Sanders said.
Good news, we need you Corey. Your trophies and asu jersey will look great in the hall of fame next to L. Guy. You two will make a DT tandem that has never been seen before at ASU. Please call any other kids like Devon and Burfick and tell them to join you!!!
