Badi’s recruiting had been on fire in recent weeks with offers coming in from many outstanding programs. Late this week he committed to Ferrum College and will be ready to compete from day one. Adam Badi Adam Badi 5'11" | 200 lbs | LB Virginia Academy | 2025 State VA is a leader from his linebacker positions the Panthers should expect him to do the same for them in 2025.

Virginia Academy senior standout linebacker Adam Badi Adam Badi 5'11" | 200 lbs | LB Virginia Academy | 2025 State VA has seen his recruiting take a turn in the positive direction. Picking up offers from Ferrum University and Saint Frances, Badi could suit up for either school and be a contributor next fall. The leader for the Patriots defense, Badi has fully recovered from his injury a year ago and his stock is only rising.

The Patriots have a couple of senior linebackers that are going to be playing at the next level. The first one is Adam Badi Adam Badi 5'11" | 200 lbs | LB Virginia Academy | 2025 State VA who I have been high on for quite some time. I broke down his play earlier this month:

one of the smartest linebackers you will find, he is a pain to block with his combination of strength and speed. Constantly shedding would be blockers, Badi has returned from injury and been as advertised for the Patriots defense. He is instinctive and fast to the football, there are not many running backs in the state who can get by him. Playing along the likes of stars like  Andrew Hamad Andrew Hamad 6'0" | 210 lbs | LB Virginia Academy | 2025 State VA  ,  Rashad Fortune Rashad Fortune 6'3" | 245 lbs | DL Loudoun Sports Academy | 2026 State VA  , Kwalei Carter and  Malek Garnett Malek Garnett 6'3" | 185 lbs | LB/TE Virginia Academy | 2025 VA  just to name a few, it is still hard to miss Badi on every defensive snap.

Linebacker and team leader Adam Badi Adam Badi 5'11" | 200 lbs | LB Virginia Academy | 2025 State VA is back healthy and ready for impactful fall. A tough old school backer who can run well in his coverage skills, Badi will be the leader once again for this Patriots defense.

Strong and physical from the point of attack, there are reasons that many Patriots fans are stoked about this defense. The healthy return of Badi is a big reason why.
