Hailing from San Antonio, Texas and John Paul Stevens High School, Adams joins the Eagle program after leading Stevens to its deepest postseason run in over a decade, taking the Falcons to the University Intercollegiate League Region 4-6A Quarterfinals in 2020-21.

En route to a Region 4-6A Quarterfinal appearance, she claimed UIL District 29-6A Offensive Player of the Year honors after averaging a double-double (14.3 points and 10.0 rebounds) per game. Adams shot 41 percent from the field and 27 percent from three while adding 73 steals, 39 assists, and seven blocks.

As a junior, Adams earned her first career All-District honor, claiming UIL District 28-6A First Team honors after averaging 13.1 points and 7.8 rebounds per game while also adding 110 steals and 18 blocks during the 2019-20 season.

Against Western Carolina, she was perfect from the floor, scoring five points on 2-of-2 shooting, including her lone career three-point field goal.

As a freshman, Claude appeared in 18 games with three starts for a Blue Devils squad that advanced to the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament. On the season, she averaged 1.7 points and 2.4 rebounds per game, posting season-highs with six points and seven boards versus High Point and five points and eight rebounds against Troy.

A native of Fayetteville, Ga., Claude is the only player in Whitewater High School history with 1,000-plus points and rebounds and 250 blocked shots, doing so in a decorated prep career. She wrapped her high school career claiming the 2018-19 Georgia Athletic Coaches Association All-State 5A South Player of the Year honor, punctuating a long list of career accolades.
