Been meaning to put that picture on the blog for some time.The photo is of two-sport star Brian Adams, now a freshman outfielder with the UK baseball team and soon-to-be wide receiver for the UK football team in the fall, who is jumping over 6-foot-9 pitcher Alex Meyer.
That’s no typo either. Adams is literally clearing a near seven-foot guy. Adams, who started all three games for the Kentucky baseball team this weekend in its sweep of defending national champion LSU, is being whispered around the athletic department as one of the most athletically blessed athletes to come to UK in the last few years.As if the picture above doesn’t speak volumes to Adams’ athleticism, consider the fact that Adams robbed a home run over the wall in left field Saturday in just his fourth career start.Just imagine when this guy lines up for the football Cats in the fall. You can bet football coach Joker Phillips has a couple of fade routes in the back corner of the end zone already drawn up.
And while we’re on the topic of athleticism, check out the video below of former UK outfielder and 2006 Southeastern Conference champion Antone DeJesus robbing a home run.
