No longer with Vanderbilt Collins (knee) is no longer with Vanderbilt, according to Alaina Morris of 247Sports.

Impact Collins' 2025-26 season has finished, and it will end with the same number of nine games he also logged last season. The senior was a regular part of Vanderbilt's rotation, providing his best value defensively, as showcased by his 2.4 steals per game this season. Collins also averaged 7.8 points, 4.7 assists and 4.2 rebounds. Considering the senior's last two seasons, the first in which he played more yet redshirted, it would not be surprising if a redshirt appeal is made so another season can be on the cards for him.
