Local WR Larry Collins not planning to wait on Gamecocks

South Carolina has one receiver committed for the 2016 class in Bryan Edwards and is a leader for three others, Kelvin Harmon and Tre Jackson and Isaiah Graham.

With the being the case, the realization is starting to hit home with Lower Richland receiver Larry Collins Jr. that there might not be room in the roost for another at his position.

“South Carolina says they are going to take one more receiver and make a decision (on him) after seeing him in the fall,” Larry Collins Sr. said. “We’re not going to wait on that.”

Collins Sr. added they were not aware of USC’s social gathering coming up on July 24 and would need to get in touch with recruiter Steve Spurrier Jr. for more information.

Collins Jr. attended USC’s Showcase camp last month and by all accounts made a good showing. He went to North Carolina’s Freak Show camp and his father said that went well, too. He will make his final camp appearance of the summer July 17 at Tennessee.

According to his father, Collins Jr. likes Tennessee, USC and North Carolina, and “talks a lot about Georgia. We’re going to try to make a commitment before school starts, around the end of July.”

Collins Sr. said North Carolina has been showing a lot of interest, and they’ve also been hearing a lot lately from Wake Forest.

Last season Collins Jr. had 31 catches for 504 yards, rushed for 309 yards and passed for 343 yards. He scored 10 touchdowns. On defense as a safety, he had 34 tackles and 4 interceptions.
