WATCH: LSU 4-star QB commit Rickie Collins takes off on massive run
Baton Rouge (La.) Woodlawn four-star quarterback Rickie Collins is one of the best dual-threat signal-callers in the 2023 class. The LSU commit showcased why on Friday night against New Orleans Brother Martin.
As Collins faked the handoff, he shifted to his left and took off down the sideline. He was eventually brought down before the end zone, one of his top plays in a 45-20 loss.
Collins, a 6-foot-2, 182 pound prospect, is the No. 194 overall recruit and No. 13 quarterback in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 12 player in Louisiana.
The four-star has an On3 NIL Valuation of $190K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
