Collins Ends Regular Season on a Huge Note!

Collins Ends Regular Season on a Huge Note!
November 13, 2022

Waleska, GA - Devyn Collins has had a tremendous season running the ball for the Eagles and he capped off the regular season game with Union on a huge note! Reinhardt Football took care of business against Union beating them 40 to 0 and Collins was a big part of this success.

In the game, Collins rushed for 214 yards on 22 carries. He was rewarded by the AAC as Offensive Player of the Week for the final week of the season. It was his second award this season.

Collins is the leading rusher in the AAC season averaging just under 107 yards per game. He also leads in rushing touchdowns at 17 total. He is definitely the top running back in the AAC and arguably the top running back in all of the NAIA. He will get his chance to prove himself against the top teams in the country this weekend when Reinhardt visits Lindsey Wilson for the first round of the NAIA playoffs.  The winner of the game moves on to possibly play #1 ranked Morningside out of Iowa who is 10-0 on the season. This would be a great matchup for the Eagles if they are able to take care of business this Saturday.
