According to multiple reports, LSU reserve quaterback Rickie Collins is expected to enter the NCAA transfer portal.

Collins, a former four-star prospect from Baton Rouge (Woodlawn), was originally committed to Purdue during his high school recruitment but flipped and signed with the Tigers in 2023.

The redshirt freshman appeared in just four games over the last two seasons.

Shouldn't have brought Swann in. Rather have seen Collins play some real snaps. Good luck to him. GEAUX TIGERS!

Swann looked bad but the coaches watch them everyday and thought he was the better option so that should say something.

Expected. Hopefully he gets to start at a G5 school and get his shot to make the league.

Swann has been the backup.

I wonder if BK already knew this and didn’t bring Collins in last night when Nuss got hurt so he could keep his redshirt

I think we all knew this was coming as soon as Swann came in and not Collins. I would have rather seen Collins come in but honestly he was never going to play here with Nuss coming back it seems and then we have the kid in the 2027 class. Rohan Davey coached him I believe am I wrong?

Not a surprise, can't blame a kid for wanting more PT, which he will probably get at any number of schools...

A redshirt freshman using his first year behind Nuss next year would be perfectly positioned.

Second year. Still perfect place.

Coaching staff probably knew he was headed to the portal before last night.

I wish it was Swann making this announcement. I don’t care how much experience he has from Vandy. He barely kept some of those passes in the stadium Saturday night

"Quaterback". Looks like you lost an "r", Larry.

He heard all this talk of doomsday if Nuss would go down like we didn’t have another reliable qb on the roster. Godspeed RC!

Nope. He was not put in the OU game when Nuss was hurt. AJ Swann is now 2nd string

Not super surprising. Nuss is coming back I’m sure. 2nd year starters at lsu tend to ball out
