Cole Adams, a wide receiver formerly of Alabama, committed to Vanderbilt football in the transfer portal, his agency announced Jan. 9 on social media.
Adams appeared in 15 games for the Crimson Tide in 2025 but recorded just five catches for 71 yards. He appeared in seven games in 2024 and two games in a redshirt 2023.
He was also Alabama's primary punt returner, returning 20 punts for 171 yards in 2025 and seven punts for 11 yards in 2024.
Coming out of Owasso High School in Oklahoma, the 5-10, 183-pounder was a 4-star recruit in the 2023 class.
Adams could help fill some of the production loss from Tre Richardson's transfer to Louisville. Richardson was also a smaller, speedy receiver who returned kicks. Adams fits Clark Lea's history of taking younger players who were highly-regarded recruits but lacked playing time at other SEC schools.
