Is he a better shortstop or quarterback?
Let’s just say it’s a good problem to have. For his accomplishments in the classroom and in his respective athletic endeavors, Lynnfield football and baseball standout Tyler Adamo was named the male Moynihan Lumber North Shore Student-Athlete of the Month for May.
Adamo began playing baseball and football “as soon as you could start.”
Years later, the senior shortstop is Columbia University-bound to play at the Division 1 level.
“When I was around 12, I played in districts and stuff like that – that’s probably when I really fell in love with baseball,” said Adamo, a Cape Ann League Player of the Year. “Playing travel baseball was the best decision I ever made. I was with my best friends and playing my favorite sport.”
On the football field, all Adamo did was become Cape Ann League Player of the Year as a quarterback. He shattered several school records, including career passing yards (5,223), career touchdown passes (69), and single-season touchdown passes (33).
In the classroom, Adamo’s favorite course is AP literature. He’s still undecided on a major.
“I take great pride in my academics and my parents (Kim and Matt) push me very hard,” Adamo said. “And I have two very smart sisters (Abby and Katie) who helped show me what it’s like to work hard in school. I can’t even express how much all of them mean to me.
“I’m super thankful and excited,” Adamo added. “I’ve worked pretty hard in the classroom and on the field, so it’s nice to see something like this.”
