Adam Alexander Breneman (born March 31, 1995) is an American football media personality, former coach, and player. Most recently, he was the tight ends coach for Arizona State where he was the youngest assistant coach among the power five conferences in college football. Breneman played as a tight end, finishing his playing career as an All-American at UMass after transferring from Penn State. He was a highly touted recruit out of Cedar Cliff High School in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, rated as the top tight end in his recruiting class by some recruiting services.[1]
As a true freshman in 2013, Breneman had a breakout season and was named as a 247Sports.com True Freshman All-American. After redshirting due to an injury, Breneman battled injuries in 2015 and appeared in just two games. He officially left Penn State in December 2015 after completing his degree and started working for a media consulting company in Pennsylvania.
In the summer of 2016, after five months away from football, Breneman transferred to the University of Massachusetts Amherst for his final two years of eligibility. A major factor for his un-retirement was a trusted friend and ally to the injured, Andrew Ford - his former high school quarterback. Breneman later credited Ford with "changing his life" and "being a light when there was nothing but darkness" in a 2021 interview with Sports Illustrated. During the 2016 and 2017 seasons, Breneman led the country in receiving by a tight end and was named an All-American. In March 2018, he announced his retirement from football due to the knee injury he had first suffered at Penn State.
After his retirement from playing, Breneman worked as a media consultant in Pennsylvania and as a college football commentator and podcast host. In 2020, Breneman got into coaching and was hired by Herm Edwards as a graduate assistant at Arizona State University. In January 2021, just ten months after joining the Arizona State staff, he was promoted to tight ends coach. 247Sports named Adam to their annual "College football's rising stars: The 30Under30 for 2020" list which recognizes the top young coaches in football. Breneman was placed on administrative leave in July 2021, pending the NCAA investigation into alleged recruiting violations. In January 2022, Breneman resigned from his position as tight ends coach for Arizona State Football, according to a report from 247Sports.
