LSUDad Posted August 22, 2023 Author Share Posted August 22, 2023 FYI: LSU right-handed pitcher Bryce Collins will not return to Jay Johnson's program for the 2024 season and will explore other options following graduation. Collins' departure was first reported by The Daily Advertiser. Johnson and Collins have been on the college baseball journey together for quite some time. The two go back to when Coach Johnson was recruiting his right-hander out of high school, and after Collins' fifth-year, their bond is inseparable.
