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!

decision could have been made before the oklahoma game

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

Good luck, young man.

No brainer. Good luck to him.

TooFyeToFly•19 months

Good luck to him. He's good enough to start somewhere.

mortis381•19 months

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

monsterballads•19 months

In case you were wondering why he didn’t play last night

southsidedell•19 months

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

LSUPilot07•19 months

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...

Cwils2222•19 months

Rickie finally reconsidered.

jpcajun•19 months

so this means Nuss is coming back for sure? I'd assume

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

TBoy•19 months

Second year. Still perfect place.

brewdrees•19 months

Last night was the reason

DallasTiger•19 months

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

Popstiger•19 months

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

ATLTiger•19 months

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

themunch•19 months

Wish he would stay Actually

CaptainYaYa•19 months

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!

soccerfüt•19 months

Rickie done loosed his number at LSU.

SOL2•19 months

Ricky, Bryce is not coming. It looks like you are the next in line.

BigNastyTiger417•19 months

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