Collins is a certified deep threat who can stretch the field and force defenses to adjust coverage. He tracks the ball well over his shoulder and stays composed on vertical routes. After the catch, he shows solid instinct and the ability to create extra yardage.

What stands out is his feel in zone — he understands how to throttle down and find soft spots in coverage. He doesn’t just run through space, he works within it. That awareness makes him a reliable target on intermediate concepts as well. Add in his value as a return specialist, and he impacts the game in multiple ways. He’s a field-tilter with real vertical value.

Collins has been a consistent top performer for us at our 7v7 events. He has done a good job building some buzz for himself this offseason and will head into his senior year with plenty of momentum. I love the nuance to his game. He has some flash, but it’s his body control and hands that stick out to me, it’s also what makes him a reliable target down the field for his size. There needs to be more buzz here, and I imagine D1 programs will at least check in over the offseason.

Collins was an early standout day 2 and was extremely reliable on both sides of the ball. He had a game winning grab in bracket play to keep his team alive, which is what grapped my attention. He is a smooth, quick twitch athlete who can separate. He has impressive multi-sport evidence, as he currently holds first place in Alabama for the triple jump. There is plenty of room to bulk up and get bigger,

“Collins is electric out wide. He has great speed/acceleration, is an impressive route runner, and can burn DBs downfield for huge gains. Collins is especially valuable attacking the deep part of the field; he’s a speedster you have to account for every down.

I think Collins will have a massive year in 2026. With his speed, routes, and hands, he can make a ton of impressive plays out wide. I expect to see him in an increased role this fall, but before then, be sure to check out some of his tape below:
