Samari Collier Injury: Not starting Independence Bowl

Collier (knee) isn't starting for Coastal Carolina in the Independence Bowl, per Chris Burns of KTAL.

Tad Hudson will get the start for the Chanticleers instead. Collier hasn't played since Week 12 when he got banged up against Georgia Southern, and he'll officially miss Coastal Carolina's bowl game to close out the year. The senior quarterback wraps up 2025 in Conway with 489 passing yards, seven touchdowns and two interceptions with 429 rushing yards and seven scores as well.
