WATCH: LSU commit Rickie Collins shows elite escapability
2023 Baton Rouge (La.) Woodlawn quarterback Rickie Collins showed off his impressive wheels in a loss to St. James (La.) last weekend. The LSU commit was under pressure much of the night, but still managed to make plays with his feet, which you can watch below.
Head Coach Marcus Randall continues to be impressed with Collins.
“He brings leadership and he brings just that experience of being a four year starter,” Randall told On3. “And obviously, talent just to be able to push the ball down the field and make plays.”
Rickie Collins is the No. 180 overall recruit 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’s the No. 13 overall quarterback and No. 13 overall prospect in Louisiana.
Rickie Collins scouting report
“Three-sport signal caller who balls out on the gridiron and track as well as the hardwood. Stands 6-foot-2, 185 pounds with a 9-inch (or slightly smaller) hand. Athletic ability jumps off the tape when rolling out and on designed runs. Has a more elongated delivery, but throws an accurate ball at all levels of the field.
“Threw for 1,930 yards and 16 touchdowns on 113 completions with a 65% completion percentage during his junior season. Has solid ball ballistics and ability to drive the football. Will need to tighten up his motion in his release. Wins with his escapability and ability to extend plays.
“Ran an electronically-timed 4.74 40-yard dash and a 4.28 shuttle prior to his senior season. Hit 37.5 inches on the vertical as well during the spring camp circuit prior to his senior season. Jumped a 5-foot-10 high jump and a 21-foot-5 long jump during his junior track and field season. Leaping ability translates to the basketball court when he goes up to throw-it-down on dunks. Has a chance to be an immediate difference maker for a team at the Power 5 level.” -On3 director of scouting Charles Power on Rickie Collins
