Raymond Collins is the SEC-built, JUCO-tested linebacker Ole Miss trusts to grow into a bigger role
In the 2025 season, Raymond Collins gave Ole Miss valuable depth at linebacker, appearing in 10 games and finishing with 5 tackles while also handling special teams work; the year before, he redshirted after playing sparingly, so his current arc is more about growth than flashy box-score production. His calling card is a sturdy 6-foot-2, 235-pound frame, plus a reputation as a high-motor in-state defender who was a JUCO All-American at Jones College and once led his team in tackles, tackles for loss, and sacks. If you want a physical, versatile linebacker with upside and special-teams value, he’s a smart fit.
