He was a member of USA Football's Under-19 national team that competed at the 2013 International Bowl and was named as an Associated Press All-State honorable mention selection after recording 91 catches for 1,265 yards and 17 touchdowns as a senior. He helped lead Cedar Hill to the Texas Class 5A Division 2 State Championship game, losing to perennial state power Katy High School by a score of 35-24. As a result of a successful high school career, he was rated as a four-star recruit, the 42nd ranked wide receiver in the nation, and the 43rd ranked recruit in the state of Texas by the Rivals.com recruiting service. He was rated as a three-star recruit by the Scout.com recruiting service, 247Sports.com, and ESPN.com.[1] He committed to Ole Miss to play college football under head coach Hugh Freeze.

The three touchdowns were a 16-yard reception, 50-yard reception, and a 44-yard reception from Chad Kelly.[16] The next game for the Rebels would be against Alabama. In the third quarter of the game, Chad Kelly fielded a bad snap and threw the ball high in the air in an attempt to get the ball to wide receiver Laquon Treadwell in double coverage. The ball bounced off of Treadwell and the two Alabama defenders into the hands of Adeboyejo, who took the pass 66 yards for a touchdown. The touchdown was vital in the Rebels' 43-37 upset victory over the Crimson Tide at Bryant–Denny Stadium.[17] On October 17, against Memphis at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, he caught a 68-yard touchdown from Treadwell on a trick play.
