EDITOR'S NOTE: This is part of a weeklong series profiling a handful of Navy's top seniors leading up to Saturday's 116th Army-Navy game.
Quincy Adams' Navy football career could have turned out much differently had he responded to adversity in a different way his sophomore season.
After starring at Louis D. Brandeis High School in San Antonio and spending a year at the Naval Academy Prep School, Adams played in 10 games in the defensive backfield his freshman season. He started four games that season and finished with 28 tackles, an interception, broke up four passes and recovered a fumble.
