Senior Profile: Tyler Adams

It's difficult to know where to start with Tyler. It seems that the start was also the end for him, a short-lived basketball career at Georgetown.

His story, thanks to a memorable Senior Day start, has been rightfully told: The highly touted recruit from Mississippi initially committed to Duke before changing his mind and pledging to JT3 and his staff. A heart ailment cut short his freshman year, and ultimately his basketball career. Instead of (literally or figuratively) withdrawing himself from the team, Adams rededicated himself to Georgetown. Adams became every bit as impactful as the other graduating seniors, serving as another coach on the bench and as a mentor and inspiration to his teammates.
