OT: R.I.P. Alex Collins, ex-Arkansas/NFL RB

[PiscatawayMike]

He led the Razorbacks in rushing when they visited Piscataway in 2013. He was 28.

Unbelievably another Arkansas recent legend has passed away. Ryan Mallett and now Alex Collins.
Both were way too young at the time of their passing. Alex ran for over a 1,000 yards in each of his 3 years at Arkansas.
His signing with Arkansas angered his mom, who wanted him to go to Miami. She was so upset that she took his Arkansas signing papers away to delay his signing. Supposedly, she was going to receive payment from Miami when he signed with them.
May he rest in peace.

I'll forever have a soft spot for Arkansas. The Razorback fan base welcomed us like no other when we visited Fayetteville in 2012.
