Adams at CAC in full-time role

Joe Adams is at his high school home again.

Before he electrified University of Arkansas football fans, Adams stood out on Mustang Mountain for Central Arkansas Christian in 2006 and 2007.

Adams was one of the state's top football players when he was at CAC, and his play helped lead him to Arkansas, then into the professional ranks.

But Adams is back at CAC, a North Little Rock private school, as a full-time assistant coach, coaching wide receivers and cornerbacks for Coach Tommy Shoemaker and the Mustangs. Adams, 30, had worked as a volunteer coach for the past five years, but when an opening came on CAC's staff after Zac Stewart left for Nashville, he applied and accepted the position.
