Most recently, Adair served as an assistant coach at Old Dominion University.

Current Clemson head coach Mike Noonan stated the following:

“I am deeply saddened, as is the entire Clemson soccer family, by the loss of Trevor. My heart goes out to Jody and his daughters. Trevor had a significant impact on our soccer program here at Clemson, as well as the State of South Carolina, the Southeast region and in New England. He will be missed in the soccer community.”
