East Lansing — It appears Elijah Collins’ career at Michigan State has come to an end.
The running back from University of Detroit-Jesuit, who was the Spartans’ leading rusher as a redshirt freshman in 2019 before COVID-19 and injuries slowed his progress, has entered the transfer portal, a team spokesman confirmed on Wednesday.
It’s a move Collins has been contemplating since late in the season, saying before Michigan State’s final home game against Indiana that he had not yet made a decision on his future, one that includes one season of eligibility remaining because of the extra season the NCAA offered to players affected by COVID in 2020.
