steady two-way guard, but Vanderbilt chapter ended in 2026
In the 2025-26 season, Frankie Collins flashed high-impact guard value for Vanderbilt before a knee injury and an eventual departure from the program cut his year short: he averaged 7.8 points, 4.7 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 2.4 steals over nine games, with the steal rate hinting at real disruptor energy. His best differentiators are toughness, playmaking, and on-ball pressure; he’s the kind of guard who can tilt possessions without needing a huge shot diet. The catch is durability, so any team should treat him as a useful but medically complicated bet.
