Oregon State quarterback Seth Collins to transfer

 

CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) Dual-threat quarterback Seth Collins, who was electrifying but inconsistent in a freshman year marred by injury, is transferring from Oregon State.
The school announced Friday night he was leaving. The Beavers finished 2-10 in Gary Andersen’s first year as coach, going without a conference win for the first time since 1997.
Collins passed for 936 yards and six touchdowns with four interceptions. He led the Beavers in rushing with 380 yards and eight touchdowns.
After winning a three-way battle in fall camp, Collins was also the first true freshman to start at quarterback for the Beavers since David Moran against Washington State in 1996.
He shared duties as the start of the season with redshirt freshman Marcus McMaryion as the Beavers sought to give three inexperienced quarterbacks game experience in Andersen’s new system.
