  08/29/20 - OLB *Zaven CollinsrJr/2021, Tulsa

  Collins combines effort with skill and the results have been exceptional: 182 tackles over the previous two seasons, including 17.5 for lost yardage and 3.5 sacks, six pass breakups, two fumble recoveries, an interception and a forced fumble. "Not only does he have his God-given gifts and abilities and his work ethic is second to none, he is not going to be outworked. And then at the same time he wants knowledge and he knows he needs knowledge," TU defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Joseph Gillespie said. "You start putting the knowledge and the experience with it, I think his level of play will go through the roof to a whole different degree."

Collins was recruited out of Hominy High School, where he starred at quarterback and safety and won a Class A title as a senior. Gillespie has helped mold Collins into an NFL prospect, opting to keep him at linebacker because of his speed and 6-foot-4, 260-pound frame. "Zaven is a tremendous talent," coach Philip Montgomery said. "He's a guy who can cover a lot of ground. He's a guy that can play multiple positions. He can do a lot of different things for us and I think his future is extremely bright." Heading into his third season as a starter, Collins is TU's top returning tackler and the centerpiece for a defense brimming with potential. - Tulsa World
