UConn senior Andrew Adams has started off his season with two interceptions in two games, and hopes to keep the momentum going as the Huskies head on the road to take on Missouri. Not only is it the first away game of the season for UConn but it's one that Adams and the Huskies have been looking forward to. "I think we are all excited for Missouri. In the past they have been in the championship game...  going down there and making a statement should be good." 



In 2014, Adams started all 12 games at safety, leading UConn with four interceptions and finished second on the squad with 96 tackles, including a team-high 65 solo stops. In UConn's 37-29 win over UCF, Adams tied a program record with three interceptions. Adams hopes to build off of his 2014 performance with a long term goal of playing on Sundays.



Adams dream is to play in the NFL and it runs in his blood. Both his father and brother played for the Patriots but the football line goes even deeper than that. Adams cousin Matt Forte is a Pro Bowl running back for the Chicago Bears and his other cousin retired Defensive Tackle, Sam Adams won the 2000 Super Bowl with the Baltimore Ravens. "I look up to all of them and it is great to see them play on Sundays and hopefully I will be there one day."
