One of the most dominating post players in Johns Hopkins men's basketball history, Steve
Adams left his mark on the program like few before or after him.
Adams totaled 1,370 points and 645 rebounds during his career and ranked fourth in both categories when he graduated. He also ranked fifth in career field goal percentage (.583.), held the school record for career free throw attempts (555) and was second in career free throws made (368). Adams became the first player in school history to amass more than 1,300 points and 600 rebounds and he remains on of just two Johns Hopkins players to turn this trick.
Adams' efforts on the court translated to him being one of the most decorated players in program history. He earned All-Centennial Conference honors three times, including first team honors twice, grabbed Second Team NABC All-Region honors as a senior and Second Team All-UAAs honor as a sophomore (Johns Hopkins left the UAA after that year).
More than 10 years after graduating, Adams remains one of just three players in Johns Hopkins history to earn First Team All-Centennial honors twice and and one of just four to earn All-Centennial honors three times or more.
Adams fueled a four-year run for head coach Bill Nelson's Blue Jays that saw them compile a record of 67-34, including a 35-17 mark in the Centennial Conference. The Blue Jays advanced to the conference championship game once and the semifinals once and also made one appearance in the ECAC Tournament during his career.
