Adam Yates story
Adam Yates built his college career from 2009 through 2012 as a placekicker from Sparks, MD wearing No. 52, spending time with South Carolina. The clearest part of Adam Yates' career was his special-teams scoring: 83 kicking points, 11 made field goals on 17 attempts, and 50 extra points across 14 career games in the available record. His largest box-score season came in 2012 with South Carolina. Those numbers show where he fit, how often the ball or action found him, and how his role developed over time.
Special-teams careers depend on repeatable opportunity, not just one highlight. With 14 career games in the available record, his career has enough shape to show both opportunity and production across South Carolina.
The arc is straightforward: Adam Yates moved through the depth chart, found a larger role, and turned that opportunity into production that can be understood through standard football numbers.
