GAME LOG

Not seen warming up Adeyi did not come out to the field with his fellow running backs ahead of Saturday's game at North Carolina, Shane Mettlen of the Daily News-Record reports.
Impact Adeyi was not spotted warming up ahead of Saturday's contest, a concerning sign for his chances to play. He suffered an undisclosed injury in Week 2 and is at risk of missing Saturday's game as a result. If he does not play, Tyler Purdy should see increased work.
SEPTEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Will be monitored during week Adeyi will be monitored during the week due to an undisclosed problem, Jarvis Haren of WHSV-TV 3 reports.
Impact Adeyi suffered an undisclosed problem between James Madison's latest and upcoming games. So now, his availability status is questionable before the Dukes' next matchup, currently scheduled for Sept. 21 at North Carolina.
SEPTEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Takes reserve role Adeyi totaled four rushes for negative one yard during Saturday's 13-6 win over Gardner-Webb.
Impact Adeyi handled nine more carries than any other JMU back in Week 1 but averaged just 2.4 yards per carry. Instead of giving Adeyi another shot, the Dukes turned to George Pettaway (10 carries) and Tyler Purdy (10 carries) for most of the team's rushing attempts. Pettaway and Purdy combined for 143 yards and a touchdown, making it even less likely that Adeyi returns to a lead role next time out.
SEPTEMBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Struggles in Dukes debut Adeyi totaled 17 rushes for 41 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 30-7 victory over Charlotte.
Impact Adeyi saw nine more carries than any other JMU back but averaged just 2.4 yards per carry. Considering he averaged seven or more yards per carry the last two seasons, better days should be ahead for Adeyi.
SEPTEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Commits to James Maddison Adeyi has announced his commitment to James Madison for the 2024 season Sunday via his personal Twitter page.
Impact Adeyi finished the 2023 campaign with 143 carries for 1,017 yards and six touchdowns. He will look to make the same impact for James Madison after spending the last three seasons with North Texas.
JANUARY 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Leaving North Texas Adeyi announced Friday that he is entering the transfer portal.
Impact Adeyi finished the 2023 campaign with 143 carries for 1,017 yards and six touchdowns. The junior running back will look to join a new program after making 34 appearances across three seasons for North Texas.
DECEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Electric in win over UAB Adeyi had 18 rushes for 132 yards and two touchdowns and reeled in their only target for five yards during Saturday's 45-42 victory over UAB.
Impact Adeyi had a strong end to the season Saturday, rushing for 132 yards (his second most this season) and two touchdowns. He and Oscar Adaway both received 18 carries, and this time it was Adeyi who out-produced his teammate in the season finale. Despite splitting carries with Adaway throughout the season, Adeyi had a very productive campaign. He rushed 143 times for 1,017 yards (7.1 yards per carry) and six touchdowns for the Mean Green and should be an important factor in the team's success again next season should he return.
NOVEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Productive versus Tulsa Adeyi recorded 16 carries for 121 yards and hauled in one of two targets for three yards during Saturday's 35-28 win against Tulsa.
Impact Adeyi had his sixth game of over 100 yards Saturday and he didn't even lead his team in rushing. He and Oscar Adaway both received 16 carries and Adaway slightly out-rushed Adeyi 126-121, thanks in large part to a 77-yard rushing touchdown. Both running backs have a great matchup in the regular season finale Saturday versus UAB, a defense which gives up nearly 200 rushing yards per game.
NOVEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Out-played by Adaway Adeyi logged 11 carries for 48 yards and hauled in 1 of 2 targets for two yards during Friday's 45-21 loss versus Southern Methodist.
Impact Adeyi received the exact same number of carries as teammate Oscar Adaway Friday but was out-rushed by 42 yards and Adaway scored a rushing touchdown. The two have been splitting carries very evenly as of late, but Adaway has been finding the end zone more than Adeyi in the last five games (four for Adaway compared to Adeyi's one).
NOVEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
100 yards in Saturday's loss Adeyi accrued 17 rushes for 105 yards and caught their only target for 15 yards during Saturday's 37-29 loss versus Texas-San Antonio.
Impact Adeyi rushed for over 100 yards for the fifth time in the last seven games Saturday. He out-carried Oscar Adaway 17-12, but Adaway scored the Mean Green's lone rushing touchdown.
NOVEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
100 yards in loss Adeyi logged 10 rushes for 104 yards during Saturday's 45-42 loss against Memphis.
Impact Despite being moved behind Adaway in the depth chart earlier in the week, Adeyi out-touched and out-rushed Adaway in Saturday's loss. Both were quite efficient with their limited touches, although the majority of Adaway's production came on one 67-yard rush. Even with splitting time with Adaway, Adeyi is good enough to be productive and fantasy-relevant on limited touches.
OCTOBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Moved behind Adaway on depth chart Adeyi is listed as a backup behind Oscar Adaway for the Week 9 matchup against Memphis on Saturday, Brett Vito of the Denton Record-Chronicle reports.
Impact Adeyi tallied seven rushes for 26 yards and one touchdown during last Saturday's 35-28 loss to Tulane, and while he found the end zone, the fact that he averaged 3.7 yards per carry wasn't encouraging. That said, and despite the fact North Texas is listing Adaway as the starter, their committee-based approach would suggest Adeyi will still see a fair share of carries. He has 71 carries for 507 yards and four scores across seven games this season.
OCTOBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Scores touchdown in loss Adeyi tallied seven rushes for 26 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 35-28 loss to Tulane.
Impact Adeyi had a fairly quiet outing Saturday with the offense attempting 51 passes, but still found his way into the endzone on an 18-yard rush in the third quarter. While he did not do much else in the game, the touchdown salvaged an okay performance for him.
OCTOBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Rushes for 67 yards Adeyi rushed 14 times for 67 yards in Saturday's Frisco Bowl matchup with Boise State.
Impact Adeyi made it over 800 yards rushing even though he missed two games. The Mean Green will have a new head coach, so look for players like Adeyi to potentially enter the transfer portal, or to have different roles in 2023.
DECEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Rushes for 73 yards Adeyi rushed 11 times for 73 yards versus UNLV on Saturday.
Impact Adeyi is getting fewer touches than Oscar Adaway, but he's still getting his work in. He's rushed for over 300 yards through four games, though since Adaway got healthy he hasn't had more than 11 touches in a contest.
