Report:  On defense last year, Collier totaled 77 tackles (22 TFL), 5 sacks, 2 fumble recoveries, and an interception.  For his performance in the 2012 Texas 1A State Championship game, he was named defensive MVP of that game.

There isn't much video available for Collier, so it was hard to get a good read, but below are some quick observations.  Collier is another raw defensive end prospect that will need some coaching to be productive at the next level.  However, he's got the potential and upside to produce with Texas Tech.  He's athletic for a DE and also plays TE on offense.  Also, Collier has nice speed and quickness, which may be his greatest asset.  He sometimes doesn't seem that motivated and takes some snaps off, which he admittedly is working on.
