The former Tiger is moving from one coast to another.
A former LSU Tigers standout is on the move.
New York Jets safety Jamal Adams was traded on Saturday to the Seattle Seahawks. The news of the trade involving the former All-American safety for the Tigers was first reported by Jets beat reporter Brian Costello:
If you have been following Adams’ career, you would know that the former All-SEC safety has had a tumultuous relationship with the team that drafted him. Adams had made it no secret that he wanted out from the organization, and here in late July, the Jets have given him his wish.
Adams will now go to a Seahawks squad that made a playoff appearance last year and is of course led by the dynamic Russell Wilson. The Seahawks figured to be strong contenders in the NFC and the NFL in general as well to win it all (assuming there is actually football this year, maybe, maybe not) but now with the addition of Adams, it only can strengthen their case.

The LSU CB Big Board: Tigers Lose Commitment From Cai Bates
The LSU football staff has lost a commitment from Top-150 overall prospect Cai Bates after the four-star cornerback revealed he will be reopening his recruitment on Monday.
Bates, one of the top pledges in Brian Kelly’s 2024 class, had been trending elsewhere over the last few months with the decision becoming public this afternoon.
The coveted defensive back took a trip to Tallahassee this past weekend after a visit with the Florida State Seminoles. Now, after reopening his recruitment just weeks until the Early Signing Period, Bates could be trending their way.
Florida State, Tennessee and Alabama are the trio of schools to monitor for Bates’ services.
LSU has now lost pledges from both of their Top 150 recruits at cornerback with Bates and Ondre Evans going elsewhere.
For the Tigers, reinforcements are on the way. LSU has flipped a pair of recent SEC commitments in Bernard Causey (Ole Miss) and PJ Woodland (Mississippi State) as crunch time begins on the recruiting trail.
The LSU Cornerback Big Board:
Flipped: Ondre Evans
Early last month, Evans to Georgia became a real possibility, and after a midweek visit to Athens, it busted the door wide open for a flip, sources told LSU Country. Now, he’s officially announced his commitment to the National Champions.
Evans is the No. 1 overall player in the state of Tennessee with Kirby Smart and his staff stealing a major SEC target once again. With the Tigers in constant contact with Evans, the Tennessee native now makes a major splash on the recruiting trail.
The 6-foot, 185-pounder has been a fast-rising prospect in the 2024 class. With his body beginning to fill out, he’s seen it take his game to a new level. Evans became one of the highest risers in the recent 247Sports recruiting rankings, going from unranked nationally to No. 106.
Successfully Flipped: PJ Woodland – Mississippi State to LSU
Woodland, a top athlete in America, will play cornerback at the next level with the Tigers adding a key player to a position of need.
After backing off of his pledge to Mississippi State late last month, Woodland wasted no time in revealing his commitment to the Tigers. A player who was trending towards the Ole Miss Rebels, LSU once again got him back down to campus with this program ultimately sealing the deal.
Woodland was in Baton Rouge for the Tigers’ victory over Auburn before making the trek back to Louisiana for the Week 8 contest against Army.
The 6-foot, 160-pounder filled a void in this LSU defense for the future with those within the program intrigued with his long-term potential. Woodland is in the midst of an impressive senior campaign with his Oak Grove program handling business.
Successfully Flipped: Bernard Causey – Ole Miss to LSU
The Bayou Bengals filled a position of need after Causey revealed his pledge to LSU last month. This program made a monster push for the coveted defensive back with their efforts ultimately paying off.
