C/O 2022 Player Spotlight – FS/SS Justin Collins University High (6’2″ 190)

UPDATED: Committed and Signed with Arkansas State Red Wolves 2/2/2022

Name: Justin Collins
Year: 2022
Height/Weight: 6’2″ 190
School: University High Lab School – Baton Rouge, LA
Position: Defensive Back that can play corner or free safety
Head Coach: HC Andy Martin
GPA/ACT: 3.3 GPA/ 24 ACT
2020 Stats: 1 Interception, 1 Forced Fumble, 1 Fumble Recovery, 20 Tackles, 3 TFL

Evaluation: Collins is smooth as silk in secondary for the Cubs.  It has earned him the nickname “Silent Assasin” by R/L.  His closing speed on run plays and coverage ability on pass plays make him very deceptive to opposing offenses.  He makes plays in open space well, physical at the point of attack. Long lean body, smooth through transitions from back peddle to quick hip movements to rotate into pass protection. Athletic build.
