January was a busy month on the recruiting trail for Dan Lanning and the Oregon staff, who extended an offer to four-star 2026 Towson (Md.) Loyola Blakefield cornerback Khary Adams.

The 6-foot-2, 180-pound defensive back was visited by a laundry list of big-time programs during the contact period, but a few of the big schools that stand out were Oregon, Ohio State, Penn State, Notre Dame and USC.

Safeties coach and co-defensive coordinator Chris Hampton extended the scholarship offer prior to an in-home visit with On3’s No. 18 cornerback. Hampton was joined by Lanning and Tosh Lupoi for a second January visit with Adams prior to recruiting dead period.

“Oh, it means a lot,” he said of what the visit from the Ducks meant to him. “It was going well. We’re building a good relationship.”

The four-star defensive back has never visited Oregon before, but the chance to be a Duck isn’t one he’s taking lightly.

“It’s kind of like a dream for me and it’s good football,” he said of Oregon.

The opportunity to play his college football in Eugene is appealing for a number of reasons.

“To compete for a championship,” Adams said. “Great coaches and the coaches they have stability in the program. Coach Lanning was telling me he doesn’t plan to leave, he really plans to stay there.”

After having the chance to meet Lanning, the Maryland prep likes what he’s seeing from Oregon’s head coach.

“He changed the program,” he said. “Always a good person. Good coach.”

After taking gameday visits to Penn State, Syracuse, Maryland, UNC and Notre Dame last fall, he returned to Penn State in January.

Adams’ official visit schedule taking shape

He’s starting to get his official visits scheduled and knows a group of schools that he will visit officially.

“I have Auburn, South Carolina, Penn State, Notre Dame, Oregon,” Adams said. “And I’m gonna try to see if I can hit USC.”

Just under two weeks remaining in the dead period and, a select group of schools are positioned to host him in March.

“Nothing’s locked in yet but I should get up to Oregon and Michigan and maybe Auburn,” the defensive back said.

One of Maryland’s finest plans to commit before his senior season and has a few priorities.

“My relationship with the coaches. What they have for me as a plan and as a scheme. The football, education.”

Adams is running track in the spring and posted times of 10.7 in the 100 and 21.5 in the 200 meters last season.
