Adams ranks as the No. 4 shooting guard in 247Sports’ composite rankings for the 2025 class. He’s also listed as the No. 19 overall prospect and No. 2 player from Indiana.

Last week, five-star small forward Jalen Haralson also turned down the Spartans, committing to Notre Dame instead. Michigan State is still looking for its first commit in the 2025 class.
