December 30, 20204 yr That’s one of the most dominant plays I’ve seen. He is a freak of a human being. Too big, too fast, too strong.
December 30, 20204 yr They were comparing him to the Bosa bros. Kinda made it move, NGL. That's some high praise. Personally imma say he's a better Reggie White. /s
December 30, 20204 yr morning bump 6'5" 305 of beast mode coach akers and the '82 defense would approve
December 30, 20204 yr Anybody have any information on his injury? He went down in the 4th quarter didn't he?

That was the year Jerry Gray had the best interception in college ever, against Auburn, one handed flying backwards through the air. This int. the other night is now #3 in Texas history, imo, only behind Jerry's and the int. in the 2006 Rose Bowl.. help me out, was it Griffin? The int. up against the boundary. May have been the only int. we had that night.

January 1, 20214 yr ..and of course Jerry Gray was truly a War Eagle killer, with that best ever int. in 1983 and breaking Bo Jackson the next year, only after running probably at least 40 yards to catch the man who would end up with one of the fastest 40 times in the history of the combine. Maybe someday we recruit and develop DBs similar to Jerry. Probably not. I would settle for half of a Jerry Gray.
January 1, 20214 yr That's crazy that he was turned outside and less than 5 yards downfield from where the pass was thrown, twists his body and drops his paw down on top of the pass to pull it out of the air one handed.

He keeps his eye on the QB/ball the whole time. As if the opposing OL is insignificant- insane.
January 1, 20214 yr That play is absolutely bonkers. The angle, how close he was to the QB, one handed, etc. There aren't many WRs who come down with that, much a less d-lineman.

In terms of pass interference, there is no pass interference once the ball in the air has been touched by someone. As noted above, it had already been touched by AC. If there had been a return on the INT, I guess you could potentially call that a hold on the return, but there was no return, so that's moot.

September 26, 20214 yr Author Had at least a couple big plays today off the top of my head - seems to me he has another gear that I'm not sure anyone else does on this dline. Type of player where you snap the ball and all of a sudden he's somehow blowing up the RB 4 yards behind the LOS. Hope he keeps showing out in practice and getting more PT. We need more guys like him to contend nationally.
September 26, 20214 yr I didn’t watch much of the game but he definitely seemed to be around the ball
October 15, 20214 yr I'm excited about this development. Collins is one of the most gifted players on the team.
November 27, 20232 yr FWIW - IT is reporting that Collins is undecided about returning for his Senior year. This is significant because at the beginning of the year Collins was convinced he would leave early for the NFL. It is unlikely Collins play this season puts him into the top 3 rounds, but he's seen what the extra year has done for Sweat and believes he could make the same leap. Retaining Collins would be one of Texas biggest moves.

Retaining Collins would be one of Texas biggest moves. Not surprised. That has to be the pitch from Bo Davis, PK, and Sark. DL depth is iffy next year and bringing him back would be huge. He has played pretty well this year, he is just behind two of the best in the sport. I don't think he has the upside Sweat has as an anchor/run defender just based on sheer size and physical power but he has the tools to be n even more productive pass rusher. And if he puts together a strong year in the SEC as a true starter, the NFL will be salivating because you know his measurables will be great.
November 17, 20241 yr Alfred Collins was part of the Texas Longhorns team that played in Fayetteville in 2021 and fell to the Razorbacks 40-21. Three years later, Collins recorded seven tackles, two for loss, one sack and a forced fumble. In the fourth quarter, as Texas led 20-10, Collins slapped the ball away from Arkansas freshman receiver CJ Brown. Michael Taaffe pounced on the loose ball and possession was back to the Longhorn offense with 6:55 left on the clock. “Man, I just wanted to keep the ball back to the offense,” Collins said. “Do what I gotta do.” This play was crucial to guarantee the Longhorns would come out on top this time, and Razorback fans would be silenced in the stands rather than storming the field. “Man, I’ll never forget that game. That was an eye-opening game,” Collins said. “We had to show that we’re the best defense in the nation. So I feel like we did. I don’t want to lose to them again. No.” Five years into his Texas career, Collins might be having his best season to finish off strong. He's tallied 35 tackles and 12 sacks this year and this game marked his best performance. “I mean, Alfred Collins, what a game,” head coach Steve Sarkisian said, praising his veteran defender. With Texas heading into the final stretch of the season, with Kentucky and Texas A&M left in the regular season and the College Football Playoff, Collins' collegiate career will soon come to an end. His motivation is high, but not just for his own good. “I’m gonna give my all every week,” Collins said. “I love these guys, everybody in the organization, the whole team. I wouldn’t be here without them.”
November 17, 20241 yr Collins is making himself some money this year, I have to think. Wonder what the latest draft projection is for him.
October 3Oct 3 Author Play of the game* Also what is wrong with Michaels' call there? He's trying to figure out what happened just like everyone else.
