Future Rutgers football quarterback Colin O’Sullivan breaks down his game-winning touchdown in the ‘Big 33’

Rutgers football commit Colin O’Sullivan talks recent play in the ‘Big 33.’

In the ‘Big 33’ game over the weekend, Rutgers football commit Collin O’Sullivan had the winning touchdown pass late in the fourth quarter to lift to Pennslyvania to a 31-27 win over Maryland.

The 31-yard touchdown pass, with 1:15 left in the game, was a beautifully touched pass to wide receiver Kenny Johnson, a Pittsburgh commit. O’Sullivan, a Preferred Walk On (PWO) commit, gave his verbal to the program in mid-January.

A foot-11 quarterback, Sullivan attends Upper Dublin High School (Fort Washington, PA) and led his program to a 14-1 record as a senior.

In 2022, O’Sullivan threw for 2946 yards, 36 touchdowns, and had a 67% completion percentage.

His touchdown throw to Johnson came just moments after another touchdown throw was called back.

“We were up all game and Maryland took the lead with 2:30 left.. we got a first down and then I hit a wide receiver on a crossing route for a 60-yard touchdown but as he was going endzone, the ref called a crack back block that called back a touchdown. But we still got a 30-yard gain and ball on the 30-yard line,” O’Sullivan told Rutgers Wire.

“Very next play = we had bunch into boundary and Kenny isolated to the field. The safety was middle of field and I knew no way he could get over top to help on a fade, so he ran a go route and I put it in his outside shoulder and he made a great catch.”

 

O’Sullivan is an impressive quarterback, with an accurate arm and the ability to lead a receiver open with his passing. He reports to Rutgers on June 17.
