About Collin

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I am a dual threat quarterback who can throw on the run and also use my legs when necessary. I have been in a no huddle offense since I was 11 years old. I am also not afraid to stand in the pocket to deliver my passes.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

My teammates and I have always been outsized on the football field, but our work ethic and knowledge of the game is what led us to a State championship game. I do not mind lowering my shoulder to get the extra yard and I have a lot of confidence to throw the football.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

My first two years as a youth football player we did not win a game. I told myself to keep having fun and make sure my teammates are always competing. I helped lead our team back-to-back games from behind to advance us to the state championship in my final youth football season.

What type of college are you looking for?

I am looking for a college to just give me a chance. I believe in my ability to play football and run a offense. I have been blessed with good coaches and teammates who help me get the most from myself.

  • Strengths: Core strength, throwing on the move

A multi-sport athlete who also participated in basketball, Richards helped lead the Tri-City Wolverines to a second place finish in Illinois’ Pop Warner conference. While he doesn’t have the size of the two QBs listed above, there is still plenty to like about him. His mobility and ability to create while on the run and the play is breaking down is very obvious. Richards body control is also a big plus. He plays with a ton of balance and core strength in order to run and then square his shoulders mid-stride to make a play. The one thing I did not see a ton of on his film are deep throws to the outside. There are plenty of intermediate routes, but I would like to see what he looks like opening up and firing it deep–that part of us his game is a bit unknown at this point.
