“I thank Oregon State for a great year,” Collins said in the school's release. “But it is in my best interest to pursue my education and football somewhere else.”

The quarterback suffered a knee injury in October and missed four games. Upon his return, he was moved to wide receiver and running back and also took a few snaps at quarterback. In his final game against Oregon, he finished with three rushing touchdowns, 39 rushing yards and 45 passing yards.
