Eight years after choosing professional baseball over college football, former Los Angeles Angels first-round pick Jordyn Adams is getting a second chance at the sport he left behind. According to multiple reports, Adams, 26, has enrolled at Southern Methodist University and plans to join the Mustangs football program this fall, marking one of the more unusual career pivots in recent sports memory. Adams will join an SMU program led by head coach Rhett Lashlee, who has quickly transformed the Mustangs into one of the nation’s rising programs after going 31-10 over the last three seasons.
