Collins is the fifth wide receiver in Michigan's 2017 recruiting class, joining five-star Cass Tech product Donovan Peopels-Jones, four-stars Tarik Black and Oliver Martin, and three-star Brad Hawkins.

Collins is the No. 23 wide receiver in the class, and the No. 136 overall player.

After receiving scholarship offers from 20 schools, Collins narrowed his choices down to Michigan, Alabama, Georgia and LSU by National Signing Day.

Collins is the 30th commitment in Michigan's 2017 class, giving the Wolverines the No. 4 class in the country behind Alabama, Ohio State and Gerogia.

Top receiving targets Amara Darboh, Jehu Chesson and Jake Butt graduated this season, so there's an opportunity for Collins to earn early playing time.
