That is his junior year highlights. His senior highlights are on youtube also.
This young man looks like a true lead blocker in a two back set. He absolutely flattened some of the LBs in the video.
Nice article on Jeff Adams in today's Columbia Daily Spectator.
Fabulous dinner last night for the graduating seniors at The Tennis and Racquet Club on Park Avenue.
Watched both videos....what I like is that just about everybody he blocked he clearly moved backwards...some a yard and some onto their backs, but everyone he touched was rendered out of the play.
Kid likes contact and has a loowww center of gravity. I think he can really help create those few extra holes every game to make a difference in the outcome.
Great pick up!
He could a great lead back for Gerst.
Would love to see what they can do in the same backfield.
He is from Alabama football country. Zach Olinger showed he is a hard hitter. Looking forward to watching another product from the same school.
Give Gerst s small hole and he is to the house
Want to see a big time prospect . Go on you tube and check out nick Gersts brother , Mike Gerst..5'11 195 lbs .. Another jet.. Listed as top back coming out of new jersey
Here is Mike Gerts's highlight reel.

He looks great. Can we get him to join his brother at Columbia next year? That would be quite a tandem
Looks like notre dame, Michigan, Stanford and all the ivy's courting him already. Probably need help from his brother
Olinger looked like our best linebacker toward the end of the year, although he really needs to get bigger. I think that Gross actually put on too much weight for his senior year, and that it might have slowed him down. but if Olinger can get up to around 220 he should do better on playing off the TEs and pulling guards.
