Junior Adams spoke with the media today about where things stand in the receiver’s room going into 2020, and who’s ready to have an impactful year.

Here’s some bullet-points from that discussion:

** Adams spoke about the progression of Tyrell Bynum throughout the past season, and said he’s looking forward to seeing Bynum “take that next step”.

** Coach also said he expects to the see the new offense (under John Donovan) more physical, “That’s one thing we’ve been preaching”, he said, but he is optimistic about seeing a more vertical game.

** Adams said Jalen McMillan will bring a lot of speed to the roster, “There’s not a route he can’t run”, he said of McMillan, “He has a competitive nature”.

** He was also asked about Rome Odunze and what kind of impact he can have, “His stats were right”, he said of Odunze when he was being recruited, noting that he’s 6-3, 205 and ran a 10.6 in the 100. One thing Adams likes about Odunze is his “run after catch” abilities.

** As far as who could impact the team in 2020, Adams talked about Ty Jones, “I expect him to have a really good year for us”, and Jordan Chin who made “critical plays” during the season. Also Marques Spiker and Austin Osborne, “Austin is waiting for his opportunity and had a good a off-season”.

** I asked Adams about what he first noticed about Puka Nacua at camp last year, “He competes for the football”, he said, “He’s a moment-of-truth guy….also it’s his mindset. He’s an ultra-competitor”.

** As for what the coach looks for when determining who to play and who to redshirt, he said it’s about who can “make plays on a consistent basis”. As well as knowing the schematics.

** Adams said that the feedback he’s gotten about John Donovan from recruits has been positive and they love talking to him.

** With the draft coming up, Adams was asked about Aaron Fuller, “Anything can happen”, he said, “A lot of guys like him…his tenacity and football IQ. He’s a really crafty player.”
