Remembering Corey Adams: A Promising Life Cut Short by Tragedy
It’s hard to find the words when something this heartbreaking happens. Today, I want to talk about a young man whose life and potential were taken far too soon — Corey Adams, an 18-year-old Ole Miss football player, who tragically lost his life in a shooting in Cordova, Tennessee.
This wasn’t just a random name in a headline. Corey was a freshman, just weeks away from suiting up for his very first season with the Ole Miss Rebels. A New Orleans native, he had dreams, ambitions, and a fire inside him to represent his school, his family, and his city on the football field. On Saturday night, those dreams were shattered.

The shooting took place just before 10:15 p.m. outside a home on Fern Glade Cove. When deputies stopped a vehicle nearby, they discovered Corey inside, suffering from a gunshot wound. Despite immediate life-saving efforts, he died at the scene. Just like that, a young life filled with promise was gone. It’s devastating.
Four others were also injured in the incident — fortunately, their injuries weren’t life-threatening. But the pain, fear, and loss echo far beyond physical wounds. The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office has confirmed that the investigation is ongoing, and no arrests have been made yet. The community is searching for answers and trying to make sense of an act of violence that left everyone stunned.
Ole Miss Football released a brief but heartfelt message, saying, “We are devastated to learn that Corey Adams, a freshman on the team, passed away last night in Cordova, Tennessee.” They asked for privacy and prayers for Corey’s loved ones as they grieve this unimaginable loss.
What hits hardest is thinking about what could have been. Corey Adams should have been running drills this week, preparing for the season, celebrating life as a college freshman. Instead, his name is now spoken with sorrow and remembrance.
This story is not just about a football player. It's about a son, a friend, a teammate — a young man with a future that was stolen. Let’s not let this be just another headline. Let’s remember Corey for the life he lived and the joy he brought to those around him. And let’s hope justice finds its way forward.
