Former Oregon State quarterback/receiver Seth Collins says living in Corvallis contributed to his health problems, a case he successfully made in landing an NCAA eligibility waiver that allows him to play at Texas Tech this season.
During his three-year tenure at Oregon State, Collins was sidelined by mononucleosis, bacterial meningitis as well as a broken finger. Collins asked for, and received his release from the Beavers program last December.
Collins then transferred to Texas Tech, where he is eligible to play this season, rather than having to sit out a season, after winning a request from the NCAA for a health-related waiver.
