09/30/20 - RB Elijah Collins, rSr/2024, Oklahoma State

One year ago this month, Elijah Collins took a handoff and ran 29 yards before he got tackled and brought Spartan Stadium to its feet. As a true freshman, he injected life into a seemingly dead Michigan State offense and followed it up often enough to finish with almost 1,000 yards rushing. In Collins' eyes, it was a decent debut. It is nowhere near the full show he wants to present in this backfield before he is finished. "Last year, I had a few big runs, but I never really broke any home," Collins said. "That's one thing I really wanted to focus on, getting that breakaway speed at the end and really finishing my runs to turn them into touchdowns and not just long runs." After taking hold of the role with a 192-yard breakout performance against Western Michigan in Week 2, Collins finished the year with with 988 yards and five touchdowns to earn honorable mention All-Big Ten honors.

It was a season of singles and doubles in his eyes. He had the 29-yard dash on his first carry and finished with a long of 58, but his 4.5 per-carry average and five touchdowns showcase a player who kept drives moving but rarely finished them. Michigan State finished 104th in scoring offense and 7-6 overall, so Collins believes his breakout year was still far from hitting its peak. "I know I could have done better. There were a lot of things I really didn't know," said Collins, who had two carries before last season. "But after playing and looking at my own film and studying a lot, I would like to have a better year." - Lansing State Journal
