Syracuse, N.Y. — Fran Brown has named redshirt sophomore Rickie Collins as Syracuse’s starting quarterback for Saturday’s game at No. 18 Miami.

Brown shared the lineup news during his weekly radio show on TK99 on Thursday night.

Collins has started four games for Syracuse (3-6, 1-5 ACC) this season, losing all four. He finished those games with four touchdowns and five interceptions. Syracuse’s offense scored just 43 points in Collins’s four starts.

He was benched last week against North Carolina (3-5, 1-3 ACC) for freshman walk-on Joe Filardi, who finished just 4-of-18 passing in the 27-10 to the Tar Heels.

Collins will have a new left tackle this week with redshirt freshman Kam Pringle replacing redshirt sophomore Trevion Mack, Brown said.
