Playing career

He played lacrosse for the first time during his freshman season. Adler walked onto the lacrosse team at Bentley during his freshman season and was initially their fifth faceoff specialist, though over his four years, he worked his way into a starting role and finished his collegiate career as a two-time Division II All-American.

During the Bandits' 13–4 game 3 win to clinch the championship, Adler notched his first career playoff goal, winning a faceoff clean and beating Dillon Ward to give the Bandits a 12–4 lead. After the season, Adler stepped away from lacrosse to focus on his personal life and career, but hopes to return to the sport.
