Collins is an athletic big man, who will play meaningful minutes for the Demon Deacons beginning in his freshman season. He will allow Wake Forest to play an up-tempo game and he also has good touch around the basket when the Deacs get in half court situations. He should provide Devin Thomas and the Greek Deac good support off the bench next season. With Collins, Wake Forest will have front court depth for the first time in years.
