Texas Longhorns defensive lineman Alfred Collins is carrying some major expectations on his shoulders headed into next season.
AUSTIN -- As Byron Murphy II and T'Vondre Sweat begin their pro careers, could the next NFL star be brewing for therecently released its grades for the top returning defensive tackles in the SEC next season, and Collins was among the best of the bunch. Based on last season, Collins received the third-best grade of 79.9, behind only Florida's Joey Slackman and Kentucky's Deone Walker .
"It’s Texas, man,” Collins said. “The best school in the nation. I stayed because I wanted to finish my degree. My mom graduated from here. She always tells me to finish what you start. I didn’t want to leave and then have to come back. Once I’m done with school, I’m done.” Not only does Collins have a chance to finish that education, but has an opportunity to improve his draft stock, especially if he makes plays like he did during the spring game when he picked off Quinn Ewers and returned it for a touchdown.
