Early life Adams was born in Sherman, Texas. The family relocated to Bells, Texas, when he was two years old. He has two older sisters. Both of his parents were college athletes. Adams grew up with aspirations of being a professional athlete or an actor. He earned all district honors for football, basketball and baseball in high school and was recruited out of high school for baseball. Adams planned on attending college if he received a full-scholarship, otherwise he would try acting instead. When school didn't offer what he wanted, Adams got his parents blessing to pursue acting and relocated to Los Angeles where his sister resided. Adams said it was a culture shock in comparison to living in a small town with one stop light and no crosswalks. His sister helped him get a job driving a U-Haul truck.
