Braden Collins: transfer from Appy State (walk-on)

[Freak]

Didn't see a thread posted about it in here. Played high school ball at Farragut in Knoxville, and was a 3-star in the 2018 according to the 247 Composite.

After a couple of years away, Braden Collinsis heading back home to Rocky Top.

On his personal Twitter account, the Appalachian State wide receiver has indicated that he is now a former Appalachian State wide receiver as his Twitter profile now describes him as being a member of the Tennessee football program. Additionally, and as noted by our buddies at Rotoworld, Collins is now listed in 247Sports.com’s portal ticker as moving on from the Mountaineers and transferring to the Volunteers.

Inky Johnson was a 2 star. Amirite?

Does this count against 2020 or 2021 class, or neither?

His father Ryan Played at UT, was he one of the Jefferson County Collins think he ended up at Carson Newman or maybe the wrong Collins.

Can’t remember honestly but you’re probably right

He may be a walk-on; doesn't really specify, but given how quick this happened, it seems likely.

Welcome home.

The questions are:

Does he have the speed and quickness to create separation?

Can he catch the ball?

GBO!!!

 

[PACKERVOL]

I'd agree that he's likely a preferred walk-on.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Only played in 3 games at Appy St. Doubt he ever sees the field tbh.

 

[sanglemangle]

Being a former Farragut Farmer myself he will be one young man that won't take crap from anyone! Especially no name fake football players that don't like the amount of stars some jock sniffer gives out.peace

5 star

GBO!!!

Not sure that even matters with our current offense.

 

[Dudleys87]

Figure out how to get him the ball rather than take it away from him.

 

[SNAFU]

App State grad and Vol fan back to the 80's. This kid reminds me a lot like Craig Faulkner back in the early 90's. Not the speed of Faulkner but certainly the hands. Won't be running reverses like Craig against Notre Dame but can be a sure handed receiver like Hunter Renfro was at Clemson. He can be special.
