Woodlawn 4-star QB Rickie Collins commits to LSU
BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - After de-committing from Purdue, Woodlawn four-star quarterback Rickie Collins has decided to stay at home and play for LSU.
Brian Kelly and the Tigers landed the hometown hero on Wednesday, Aug. 10.
“It showed that they really wanted me,” said Collins. “No other school did that.”
It looks like the hashtag worked. After pulling back on his commitment to the Boilermakers, Collins becomes the first and only quarterback so far in LSU’s recruiting class of 2023.
He is following in the footsteps of his head coach Marcus Randall, who was the Tigers’ quarterback from 2001 through 2004.
Collins is ranked the No. 12 player in Louisiana and the No. 13 quarterback in the US by 247Sports Composite.
