Hate on LC all y'all want because he went to bama, but he is an absolute animal. He will be a beast before he's done in Tuscaloosa

Hootie is a great prospect as well, but I don't think he's quite as special as Landon. At least not yet

It's not hate when Hootie could play CB with the best of them. That separates him from Collins.

Collins has great straight line speed, but Hootie gets the edge in lateral quickness. Collins is limited in some coverage situations because of that. While Hootie has very quick feet and about the same top end speed.

Looking at them as safety prospects Hootie gets the clear edge because of his coverage ability and potential. If we look at them at runninback then Collins would have the edge.

I don't think he will be a bust, but I am not sold that he will live up to the EXTREME hype. I believe he will struggle with run support, and he does not have great coverage instincts. He makes up for a lot with his athleticism, but he does not possess all the tools necessary to be a dominant safety. I actually think he would have been much more dynamic on offense.
