Unfortunately for both the player and the program, the reports have come to fruition.
A post on one of his social media accounts Wednesday indicated that Trey Adams underwent some type of medical procedure Wednesday morning. The offensive lineman missed Washington’s season opener against Auburn because of a back injury, with a subsequent report surfacing that he could be sidelined for the entire season.
That appears likely to be the case as the Seattle Times is reporting that Adams is expected to miss the remainder of the 2018 season after undergoing surgery on his back. The specific nature of the lineman’s back issue has not been divulged.
Adams, a preseason All-American, missed the last five games of the 2017 season after tearing the ACL in his right knee last October.
The good news, such as it is, is that the Times is reporting that Adams, a fourth-year junior, is considering a return to Seattle for his final season of eligibility. Prior to the recent spate of injuries, Adams was widely viewed as one of the top, if not the top, tackle prospects in the country.
