Ross Adams was hired in September 2021 as SCAD’s Director of eSports.

Adams began his eSports career at Keiser University, forming and developing the university’s first ever eSports program. While in his coaching role at Keiser, Adams assisted with the growth of eSports onto four additional Keiser campuses.

Under his supervision, Keiser eSports achieved a fourth place finish in the AVGL Collegiate Champions League for Apex Legends, which granted the team an invitation to a professional tournament. Keiser also competed in CS:GO, Call of Duty, Fortnite, and Super Smash Bros.
