QB Seth Collins lands at Northern Illinois
Seth Collins is moving from the Pac-12 to the MAC.
Northern Illinois announced the addition of the former Oregon State quarterback on Thursday. Collins said he was transferring from the Beavers in January. He'll be eligible to play after sitting out the 2016 season.
“We’re really happy to have Seth, he’s a quality, quality young man,” NIU coach Rod Carey said in a statement “He’s obviously a fantastic football player and a great quarterback, and he comes from a great family who we have gotten to know during this process. We look forward to having him on campus with the rest of the class this summer and to 2017 when he will be eligible to suit up and play for us.”
Collins opened the 2015 season as Oregon State's starting QB. He started the first seven games before he suffered a knee injury before the Utah game. He returned in the final game of the season against Oregon and threw four passes. He led the team in rushing with 575 yards and eight touchdowns despite missing four games.
He only threw seven passes in his final start of the season (vs. Colorado) and was set to move to wide receiver had he stayed at Oregon State.
He finished the season 83-160 passing for 935 yards, six touchdowns and four interceptions.
