Clemson Turns Down Commitment Offer
By Phil Kornblut
Clemson is no longer involved with RB Averin Collier (5-11 195) of Churchville, NY because apparently the Tigers feel they have a chance to land a running back higher on their board right now. Collier had planned to visit Clemson over the weekend but after talking with recruiter Billy Napier a couple of weeks ago, the visit was canceled. "I told him they were my number one choice and I would commit if I enjoyed my visit," Collier said. "He told me to wait and I could not do that because I'm an early enrollee. I can't have my fate depending on somebody else. He said they were waiting on somebody else. There was no use wasting my time. I told him to just scratch me off the list and I'll look elsewhere." Collier has taken an official visit to Boston College and he will visit Pittsburgh December 7th. He's also looking at Alabama, Syracuse, Maryland, Central Florida and Virginia.
