University of South Carolina senior tight end Jerell Adams has accepted an invitation to play in the 2016 Reese’s Senior Bowl.

Adams, a 6-6, 231-pounder from Pinewood, S.C., was the Gamecocks’ second-leading receiver in 2015 with 28 receptions for 421 yards (15.0 yards per catch). He was also second on the team with three touchdown catches, scoring against Kentucky, LSU and Tennessee. He had his career-best game against The Citadel when he caught six passes for 105 yards. A four-year letterwinner, Adams finished his career with 66 catches for 977 yards and seven scores.

Adams becomes the fourth South Carolina senior football player selected to play in a postseason all-star game.
