Early enrollee

Brings to Clemson: Collins was among the Clemson signees unable to get in a high school season during the pandemic, but he enrolls early with quite the advantage of already working with 2021 Clemson QB-frontrunner DJ Uiagalelei, as a former teammate at St. John Bosco (Ca.). Collins’ junior video shows skills as a route-runner, who can use his size and physicality to make plays downfield and some speed to get away from defenders to the end zone.

Depth chart fit: Collins played a little bit of everywhere in Bosco’s wide-open attack and really could fit wherever the Tigers might need to plug him in early. He played primarily on the boundary there but could be a strong option on the field side or in the slot as well.

Tyler Grisham on Collins: "When you watch Beaux Collins play, you can see immediately that he's a very polished receiver. He comes from a great program...Polished, hard worker. Very dedicated to his craft and is always working to improve. He's going to be able to come in and help us because he has a great understanding of the wideout position. Really does, man. He's worked his craft really well and it shows up on tape each and every week."
