Adams spent three years as a cornerback for the Bruins but moved to receiver last month for spring practice.

He served a three-game suspension for the Bruins last season and was reinstated when prosecutors declined to file felony charges. He'll face no further discipline with the new plea.

Coach Jim Mora said when Adams was reinstated that he had profusely apologized and accepted the consequences for the incident.
