Rickie Collins of Woodlawn High in Baton Rouge is Staying Home to Play for the LSU Tigers

Rickie Collins originally committed to Purdue before LSU hired Brian Kelly. The chance to play for his home state team proved too strong to resist.

At 6-foot-2 and 190 pounds, Collins throws accurately on the run and poses a threat with his legs. His laid-back demeanor keeps teammates loose, but his playmaking keeps defenses on edge. Louisiana continues to produce elite quarterback talent, and Collins stays home to represent it.
