Collins did apologize on his Instagram story after the incident but will have to serve the suspension against Notre Dame on Saturday.
“I was going to try to block it from behind but I was going too fast and I couldn’t stop,” Collins said. “I realized I needed to stop when it was too late. I never have been a dirty player and never will. I wish a bro a healthy season and I never tried to hurt anybody, but I know everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I have respect towards Duke and Clemson and I apologize to everybody for a reckless play. I’m glad Wendell is okay.”
