Marty Collins brings a physical, high-IQ safety profile to Eastern Michigan
In the 2026 season, Marty Collins is a true freshman DB at Eastern Michigan with a strong safety background, a 5'10", 192-pound frame, and a recruiting profile that included a three-star rating from Rivals; his high-school production included 100-plus tackles, first-team all-conference and All-South Jersey honors, and a key role on teams that won three sectional titles and a state championship. He looks like a rugged, downhill defensive back with enough pedigree and toughness to compete early, though he enters college as a developmental piece rather than a proven college stat-stuffer.
