Blessed with the stature to play any position on the field (6’3″ 175lbs), Newark Collegiate is fortunate to enlist the services of Cyre Collins-Jackson Cyre Collins-Jackson 6'3" | 175 lbs | DL Newark Collegiate | 2024 State NJ . Last fall Collins-Jackson played mostly DE and WR, while also lining up at TE and CB. He was credited with 20 tackles, which I suspect are not his true season totals.

In the first play of his highlight tape we see Collins-Jackson make a fundamentally sound DE play that any d-line coach would get excited about. We see him squeeze and take away the inside gap from an oncoming puller. This forces a bounce by the RB, to which he sheds to the outside gap and makes a tackle. Further, he is athletic to the point where he can blow up tosses deep in the backfield for a loss. Discipline is part of Collins-Jackson’s game too, as he consistently gets hands on the man in front of him, drives him, and makes a new LOS about 2 yards into the backfield. Collins-Jackson would benefit from working on his form tackling to become even more of a force than he already is.

Newark Collegiate is waiting for a Panther to take the reigns and set the tone for their program. Collins-Jackson might just be that player.
