The freshman cadet for the Army and running back for the Black Knights football team is making a short visit home when Western Kentucky hosts Army Saturday at 6 p.m. CDT at Houchens-Smith Stadium.
The Hodgenville native hasn’t played much for the Black Knights (3-2) this season, but was placed on the travel roster for the team’s first trip to Bowling Green since 2014. It’s been just a few months since Adkins left for West Point, N.Y. and a return trip not far from his hometown will include more familiar faces than he’s used to seeing.
Adkins was a two-time All-State selection as a running back for LaRue County High School.
