Clemson wide receiver Beaux Collins hit the ground running in 2022 after a successful freshman season that saw him earn 31 catches for 407 yards and three touchdowns.
Starting the season as the Tigers‘ wide receiver one alongside Antonio Williams, Collins was a top performer through Clemson’s first six games before injuries began to take their toll. A shoulder injury led to Collins missing games and ultimately ended his season.
After surgery on his separated shoulder, Collins was a limited participant in Spring but is in a great spot heading into fall camp, according to new Clemson offensive coordinator Garrett Riley.
“Beaux physically looks great,” Riley said this week. “I mean, he’s in a really good place physically. I know guys are excited about what he’s been doing, throwing sessions and different things this summer. “Beaux’s a – from my interaction this spring and just seeing him this summer – Beaux’s a sharp guy. So I think mentally, he’s going to really kind of just hit the ground running, so to speak. So, I’m really excited to see Beaux out there.”
In his career, Collins has totaled 53 receptions for 780 yards and eight touchdowns over 21 games, but 2023 could be the year he takes the next step into the elite conversation of wide receivers. Expectations are high for Collins with Cade Klubnik under center.
Clemson could have a surprising duo that could contend for one of the best in the country in Collins and Williams.
