Southern Miss walk-on Collin Kilcrease finds home at running back

Jason Munz/Hattiesburg American

Collin Kilcrease came to Southern Miss in 2014 to play running back.

Three years later, it appears as though the 6-foot-1, 200-pound Whitesboro, Texas, native will finally get his chance to do just that.

The Golden Eagles have a deep collection of options in the offensive backfield with the likes of Ito Smith, Tez Parks, T’Rod Daniels, Andre Hale and Darius Maberry lined up looking for carries. But what it lacks is a true downhill power back that can nail down the tough yards in third down and short yardage situations.
