Ex-Oregon State QB Seth Collins transfers to Northern Illinois

Seth Collins has found his new home.

The former Oregon State quarterback, who announced on Jan. 22 that he would transfer out of the program, has landed with Northern Illinois.

Collins started seven games as a true freshman in 2015, throwing for 935 yards, six touchdowns, and four interceptions, while also battling injuries.

The dynamic dual-threat pivot will need to sit out the 2016 season to satisfy NCAA transfer rules. With incumbent starter Drew Hare embarking on his senior year, Collins should be in position to take the Huskies' starting job in 2017.
