Georgia Tech defensive lineman Brandon Adams suddenly passed away on Saturday. Adams was just 21 years old and was entering his senior season on The Flats. Brentwood Academy, Adams’s high school alma mater first reported the passing on Twitter. The Georgia Tech athletic department would confirm the report just after noon eastern time on Sunday. Yesterday we previewed Adams in our Georgia Tech defensive line preview, as we projected him to be one of our breakout stars for this upcoming season.
