Ohio State’s coaching staff jumped on 2021 wide receiver Beaux Collins quickly, as soon as wide receivers coach Brian Hartline and head coach Ryan Day saw his tape.
Collins’ high school coach, Jason Negro out of St. John Bosco High School, accompanied the four-star wide receiver to a Rose Bowl practice in late-December of 2018, when Ohio State was preparing to play Washington. Upon meeting Collins, Day and Hartline sat down to watch his film, and after seeing his speed-size combination, they offered him that day.
“I just saw it as a blessing for them to see what they saw in me,” Collins said.
