Elijah Collins is making one final run. It likely won’t be for Michigan State football.
The fifth-year senior running back entered his name in the NCAA transfer portal, a program spokesman confirmed Wednesday. Collins has one season of eligibility remaining thanks to the NCAA’s waiver for the 2020 season.
Collins turned in a renaissance performance in 2022, tying with leading rusher Jalen Berger with a team-leading six touchdowns on the ground and finishing second at 318 yards and 70 carries. He also had 14 catches for 93 yards.
And if any player could justify the NCAA’s decision to give players an extra season, it is Collins.
