Collins Answers What Could Be Final Call At Home

[Mike Irwin]

Bret Bielema said he noticed that junior running back Alex Collins was somewhat emotional watching Seniors Day ceremonies before Friday's Missouri game, the last of the regular season for the Razorbacks.

"I think he really felt the vibe of, this could be his last game (at home)," Bielema said afterward. "If it is, it is. We'll wish him the best but there will be conversations between now and then."

Collins wasn't ready to tip his hand as to his future plans. He explained his emotional reaction to watching Arkansas' seniors being honored this way: "They don't have another opportunity. I could always come back and play again and have more opportunities here in the stadium but that was their last time and they'll never be able to play here again."

I hope AC comes back for 1 more year and does what is needed to graduate. However, I certainly understand if he decides to go pro....

Go HOGS Go!

[Dropkick]

If AC comes back they may end up retiring his jersey.....................

[RockyMtnHog]

We said a few years ago that DMAC was the best running back to ever wear the uniform.  If AC comes back and has another 1300-1400 yard season, he could rewrite DMAC's records.

[PorkRinds]

He could also make millions playing football.

[Nashville Fan]

RBs only have so many hits to the head. All should leave after year three, if the are going pro.

[Steef]

Everyone would love for him to stay.

But if the NFL wants him, he needs to go. For his sake.

Thank you, Buddha.

[DeltaBoy]

I am praying the the Glut of RB coming out he stays.

[Jek Tono Porkins]

I seem to remember somewhere where CBB said that in most cases, if a guy is going to be a 1st or 2nd rounder, BB will help them prepare for the draft. If they're lower than that he advises them to stay, get their degree, and increase their draft stock.

Greatful he came to Arkansas. I hope that other kids looking at coming to AR will look at his success and want to follow suit.

[hoglady]

He's a kid who really, really wanted to come here.
We should always appreciate that.

[Pig In The City]

At this point if he grades out and he will, he should go to the NFL. He has to think of himself at this point and time. 

[Cave City Joe]

I think Budda is a GREAT Hog!  But as Nashville Hog said, you only get so many head knocks.  If he can make millions he needs to go.  I truly believe he will come back to Arkansas to live after his NFL career, he really seems to love Arkansas.  I always liked how he hands the ball to the ref after a run.  Don't know if he could top DMac but he is a all time top 5.

[code red]

He is ready.... it would be selfish to think he shoild come back.

[threeNout]

He's as NFL ready as he'll ever be, and my amateur analysis tells me he will be really a good pro, he will get a high grade and be taken no later than the 3rd round, great career ahead of him. you can just sense it with him.

[pigture perfect]

This.

DMAC is one of those untouchables for most Hog fans. Especially being a home state guy. But if AC comes back he could reach that stratosphere depending on the season he has.

AC may rewrite DMac's records, but DMac only played 3 years as well. I could only imagine what Darren would have done as a senior.

[Westcoasthog]

     Alex Collins please come back for your senior year and graduate.  Arkansas needs you.

[Earl]

I like the way he reacts to an opponent that tries to trash talk him after a tackle. He just pats them on the head and probably says nice hit, that ends that.

[PORKULATOR]

I'd like to see him come back and work on his fumble issues, but if he leaves, thanks for the memories.
