Under his leadership, the Tigers produced three NAIA All-Americans, 29 all-conference selections, and the 2023 Mid-South Conference Player of the Year.
Adams was named Mid-South Conference Coach of the Year in 2021 and earned NCCAA Mideast Region Coach of the Year honors for six consecutive seasons (2019–2024). Over his six-year head coaching tenure, the Tigers posted a 71-33-7 record.
As a player, Adams was a three-time Mid-South Conference Second Team All-Conference selection. In his senior season (2010), he led Campbellsville to a 19-6 record and a fifth-place national finish in the NCCAA. That same year, he was honored as the Mid-South Conference Champion of Character. He was also a three-time MSC Academic All-Conference honoree (2008–2010) and an NAIA Scholar-Athlete in 2010.
