ADAM YATES Kicker 2008 / 2012 Sparks, MD

Biography

Yates is the record holder in the Maryland high school ranks for most extra points made in a season (76). He redshirted in 2008 but won the kickoff job in 2009 and held it for most of the season. Among Yates’ three special teams tackles was a touchdown-saving stop on Georgia’s Branden Smith after a 48-yard return. Yates’ lone extra point attempt came in the win over South Carolina State. He backed up Joey Scribner-Howard and Jay Wooten in 2010 and Wooten in 2011. Yates won the Harold White GPA Award in the spring of 2011 and was a two-time member of the SEC Academic Honor Roll in 2009 and 2010.
