Green Hope senior wide receiver Jordyn Adams will only play high school football for one season in North Carolina, but that’s all the Tar Heels recruit needed to set a state record.
Adams, who moved to Cary last winter from South Carolina to be closer to his father, an assistant coach at North Carolina, returned three punts for touchdown against Cary on Friday in a 53-34 win. That ties him with marks set by East Duplin’s Vishone Kennion in 1997 and Reidsville’s Austyn Chestnut in 2016. The record will need to be officially reported to the N.C. High School Athletic Association to go down as an official record.
