Jake Merda Adams came to the Butler Eagle in May 2024 as its new sports editor.
A Temple University graduate and native of Northampton, PA, he previously worked as the sports editor of The Carlisle Sentinel, sports planning editor for the Wisconsin State Journal and assistant/interim sports editor for the Louisville Courier Journal. He moved back to the Keystone State in 2023 and now lives in Mars with his fiancée and their dog and cat.
Adams has led award-winning sports coverage at the national and state level and covered PIAA champions, state record-breakers and Big Ten football and basketball.
Outside of the office, he likes to run, do yoga, play the occasional video game, try new restaurants and get back to the City of Brotherly Love whenever he can.
