First A&M, then Michigan State, then Texas State, then arrested:


February, 2024: According to the University Police Department's fire log, Adeleye was arrested on Feb. 21 at Blanco Hall, an on-campus residential hall. Adeleye faced multiple charges, including unlawfully carrying a weapon, evading arrest with a vehicle, reckless driving and failure to identify. While he pleaded not guilty on the failure to identify charge, his only felony charge is evading arrest, with the rest categorized as misdemeanors. All charges were filed between Feb. 21-23.

No thanks. Sounds like a headache.

Definitely don't recall him ever being a 5 star

I agree, all the threads I have found in searches on here have him as a 4*.

one example - 2022 Defensive Line - best unit in school history? | TexAgs


Still what a waste!

Seems like yet another where Jimbo chased "star count" and didn't pay attention to anything else

Was a great prospect for us, and then quit on us when the '22 d linemen came in and got a bunch of money. He threw a pity party and thought he could do better elsewhere. Doesn't seem to have the character to stick anywhere

He was definitely a 5 star on at least one of the services.

Rivals had him as a 5 star. Everyone else a very high 4 star.

He was a composite 4 star.

Another of those with high star talent and low star character.

More room to mature. Surely he can't limbo under that low bar he set???

All I know is being a highly rated recruit that bought Jimbo's sales pitch was a kiss of death.

Will any of the 5-stars he signed at A&M end up as 1st Round draft picks? Walter Nolen may be the only one that has a chance.

A lot of them aren't even in football anymore. Yikes!

just trying to pronounce/spell his name is a headache

Just proves again that the star ratings don't prove or guarantee anything.
Overall Jimbos #1 rated class has been a bust.

Former five-star, Texas A&M transfer Tunmise Adeleye down to four schools

Texas A&M transfer and former Katy (Texas) Tompkins five-star defensive end Tunmise Adeleye is down to a final four of Cal, Miami, Michigan State and USC.

Adeleye is fresh off of an official visit to Michigan State this past weekend as the Houston-area product will briefly return home before heading to Miami for an official visit starting Tuesday, Dec. 13. Adeleye will finish his week with an official visit to Cal this upcoming weekend, starting on Friday.
USC also remains in the mix for an official visit after Lincoln Riley made an in-home visit with Rivals' No. 8 ranked transfer last week.Michigan State's momentum and early official visit has been generated as a result of a relationship with pass rush specialist Brandon Jordan who worked with Adeleye when Jordan was a trainer in the Houston area during Adeleye's high school years.

coach with a very high opinion of his abilities thinking he can recruit multiple low character recruits and be successful. Baylol for a handful ifvyears tried this and it didn't work out

man this guy screwed himself. he played here and he had some legit talent. for him to have not progressed at all is going to be a huge disappointment for him later in life. he could have played in the league and he wont cause he is a knucklehead.
