Expert Analysis
Sam Erman | Prep Redzone Scout
Adkins is a talented off-ball linebacker with good instincts and vision to play the run. He’s got good range and takes long strides. He’s good off the edge and can create pressure and has blocked punts, but is best when he’s roaming sideline to sideline to make plays. He has strong hands and can wrap up in the open field. He ended his sophomore year with 98 total tackles, 6.5 TFLs, 1 sack, 1 pass deflected, and a forced fumble. The upside is there, and the frame is developing.

Adkins is a smaller-school stud who built upon his fairly impressive freshman season. He’s got a good nose for the football and is always near it. He’s a reliable tackling machine who doesn’t miss many. He’s strong and can make the arm tackles when he needs to, but knows how to come to balance and attack the outside hip. Through his 2 varsity seasons, he’s collected 170 tackles, 16 TFLs, 7 sacks, 2 interceptions, and 1 forced fumble.
