"I've received a lot of support from my family, coaches, teammates, and friends and I can't thank them enough. Playing with the Bayhawks will be a great experience for me, but right now I'm focused on accomplishing our goals for the 2012 season at Fairfield.”

Adams' teammate Charlie Cipriano of Williston Park, N.Y.,  was taken by Denver with the 54th pick.  It marked the first time the Stags had two players picked in the same draft in program history.
