Im not saying Collins will be a LT his entire career at LSU, but Ciron Black is 6'4 and was a four year starter at LT for us. Collins is already 6'5. If hes not a LT its not because of his height.

Where he ends up could be depeneding on LSUs weakspot along the line when he arrives, because I cant see this guy spending any time on the sideline. He needs to be playing somwhere from day 1.

Will he be the #1 OL in America? I dont know but one of the analysts on rivals said he would take Collins over Henderson, so if hes not #1, hes prolly #2, and is there that much of a difference? Collins is a 5 star LOCK.

I agree TrojanACE that he will not be #1 at the end.Even with all the hype Henderson got he still got passed up on most lists.This year is 2-3 times deeper with top end type talent and that will make a huge difference in where some guys are ranked as compared to some past years.I absolutely believe that if based on talent and not ranking in the top 25-30,that there will be arecord # of 5* players this year.Talent wise some of these guys are better than a lot of this past class' 5* guys.
On the ther point I actually like Jeffcoat and Owa better as well.They both have a drive in them that Powell will never have.Powell has/will always get by on his athletic gifts alone.That's the main reason,imo,that he was rated #1 on a lot of lists.He is impressive athletically but will he ever try to get better or will he rely on that to get to the NFL?I think those are valid questions.Owa will be a beast.Different work ethic than most top guys.
