Collins has had to wait his turn to get into the starting lineup at Gahanna Lincoln but as a junior his time came, and he made the most of it.

Luke lined up at left tackle for the Golden Lions. He possesses really good feet and the upper body strength to finish in pass pro. In the run game he shows off the athleticism to get to and execute blocks in space. At 6’4 he’s a lean 270 pounds with the frame to add more good weight.

Collins already holds offers from Akron and Eastern Michigan. If he can continue to add good weight and get stronger, then he will definitely add to that list before next season.

Collins, who starts at left tackle, is an effective run blocker who runs his feet on contact and gets good vertical push. He also has a history of playing defensive end, where his college fit might be.

Though he’s had to wait his turn behind other talented offensive lineman at Lincoln, Collins used a big junior season to burst onto the recruiting scene. While he lined up at left tackle for the Lions, I project him to either guard or center positions at the next level. Luke is a fun watch on film. He’s dominant at the point of attack and violent finisher. He shows good feet in his pass set and a strong anchor. Where I really believe Luke excels is in the run the game. He has the athleticism and quickness to pull and get to the second level. He’s always under control and plays with good leverage. As Luke continues to add good weight and get stronger, he will turn into a dominant interior run blocker who’s good in pass protection. He currently holds offers from Eastern Michigan and Akron. I expect that list of G5 offers to grow and him to begin to get some P4 interest.
