Visiting Jan. 29th

Others seemed to indicate Collin was a backup plan.

Well, we're certainly in backup plan territory now. Prove em wrong Collin!

 

[ScottyIce]

If he gets to Gangwish status by his SR year, I won't complain.

 

[Danny Bateman]

The nice thing about recruiting is that nothing is guaranteed. We have no idea who will pan out to be what until they actually get on the field. Collin could wind up being this class's best recruit.

Obviously, by recruiting more highly-sought after guys, you're just trying to maximize the chances of things working out. In that sense, wish we would've gotten more of our first-choice guys. But I'm more than willing to welcome anyone to the Big Red family if the coaches think it's a good idea.

Actually a pretty decent offer list.

Can't decide if he's a "backup plan" or just a guy who exploded in his SR year. This last summer he was about 6'2 220-225, now according to him he's 6'3 245. Put up big stats too, 111 tackles/11 sacks/4 FF.

Yeah, not sure how to take it. He sure looks the part.

I saw on an article Brandon Peters the Michigan QB commit we were after said Collin was the best defensive player he went up against all year

 

[SouthLincoln Husker]

Seems like a solid player, but we need to improve his explosion off the line.

 

[Street Novelist]

It's good to know we have a back-up option in case Ivy fails.

I would hope he's better than Gangwish. We can't be satisfied with serviceable defensive ends.

Kid looks solid. Surprising he wasn't offered sooner. Like others have said - appears to be a late bloomer but does have a nice offer sheet. Hopefully we can close.
