Big-armed Ohio State backup with untapped upside, but a 2016 knee injury stalled the climb
Collier’s calling card in 2016 was arm talent and visible growth: in Ohio State’s 2016 spring game, he went 4-of-11 for 154 yards, including a 55-yard strike, and even flashed mobility with four rushing attempts. His profile suggested a developmental quarterback with size and backup value, but a torn ACL in May 2016 likely wiped out that season and interrupted momentum. For a team, the appeal is upside and toughness; the caution is durability and limited proven game tape at the college level.
