CORVALLIS, Ore. – Former Granite Hills multi-purpose star SETH COLLINS showed just how far he has come from his serious illness late last year in a game against the University of Southern California last Saturday.

Seth Collins, currently a wide receiver at Oregon State, had 5 receptions for 91 yards and 4 carries for 23 yards in a 38-10 loss to USC.

Collins, who was featured last weekend in a segment on the Pac-12 Network (see above video), made a one-handed catch that dispelled any notion that his time spent recovering would deplete his incredible athleticism.

Collins’ teammate, LEEPO NAPOLEON, from Helix, had 2 tackles against the Trojans.
