For Red Bulls midfielder Tyler Adams, skipping his high school graduation for the Hudson River Derby was simple.
“It was a no-brainer to me,” Adams, 18, told The Post. “I have one passion and that’s playing soccer. Obviously, education I take very serious as well. But it was a very easy decision to come to this game today.”
Adams, who starred for the U.S. Under-20 team at the World Cup earlier this month, said he and his family held a little ceremony at Roy C. Ketcham High School in Wappingers Falls, N.Y., earlier on Saturday before the Red Bulls took on NYCFC in Harrison, N.
