Northern Illinois announced on Signing Day in February that Collins would join the Huskies as a quarterback. But Collins ultimately reversed course. Oregon State announced Monday that he would rejoin the Beavers as a wide receiver, completing conditioning during spring practice and returning to practice in fall camp.
“I’m very humbled that my teammates and coaches have provided me the opportunity to rejoin the team,” Collins said. “Coach Andersen did not always agree with the direction that I was headed during this process, but was always there to talk and support me as a person first. I’ve grown tremendously as a person since I arrived in Corvallis and I can’t wait to put on the pads and represent Beaver Nation the best way possible.
