One time if not still UConn’s top single season and career punter Adam Coles; way too young. RIP

Account Suspended

Oh damn. Was he sick?

 

[whaler11]

Wow he’s got a bunch of young kids. Terrible.

 

[Adios]

With that kind of resume, it's kind of surprising he never got a real shot in the NFL.

May he rest in peace.

Very sad news. Thoughts and prayers to his family. RIP, Adam.

 

[Dooley]

Terrible news. He was in one of my classes back in the day.

 

[Nostical]

Sad news. RIP

 

[HuskyDogArt]

So so sorry...Prayers to his family...

 

[Waquoit]

That's terrible news. Was he UConn's best punter?

 

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

Was he UConn's best punter?

Minimally from a career perspective, it’s challenging to think of anyone who would have exceeded Adam’s stats since his graduation. Single season? Not as sure.

Since returning home, Adam worked his way into sports administration, e.g., gridiron, AFL, Net Ball, arena management, etc. https://au.linkedin.com/in/adamcoles1

Coles was UConn’s best punter since at least 85 whenI started paying attention.

Net Ball is the strangest damn sport I’ve ever seen. Do you like basketball? How about with no dribbling, defense or backboards?
