Austin Collie Cannot Be Collared, Receiver Fuels BYU Offense

Provo, UT (AHN) - The Brigham Young University Cougars had a great season, going 10-2 in the Mountain West Conference, and much of that was quite literally in the hands of wide receiver Austin Collie.

Posting a remarkable 10 game streak with over 100 yards in the air, Collie served as both a long-ranged and short ranged threat.

The 206-pound junior posted 95 receptions total, for 1,419 including 15 touchdowns, almost double what he was able to do in both his freshman and sophomore years combined.

Throughout his collegiate career and 204 receptions, he has also not fumbled one single pass.

A staple of Oak Ridge High School, he was courted by many universities after winning the Northern California's Most Valuable Player award.

He received attention from Stanford, Arizona, Arizona State, Washington State, Oregon State, Colorado, Utah and UNLV - before he finally settled on BYU.

In college, he was decorated as the MWC Freshman of the Year, as well as the MVP in the 2007 Las Vegas Bowl.
