Prince Kollie brings SEC-tested speed and downhill violence to Vanderbilt's linebacker room
In the 2025 season, Prince Kollie played in all 13 games for Vanderbilt and finished with 15 tackles, including 9 solo stops, giving the Commodores a seasoned, active-bodied linebacker who shows up reliably on special teams and in rotational duty[15][2]. A former four-star recruit and Butkus Award winner out of Tennessee, he’s long been valued for his range, urgency, and playmaking feel rather than gaudy box-score numbers[7][15]. The knock is ceiling-versus-role: he’s built more like a hybrid defender than a classic thumper, so he fits best with a team that wants speed, pursuit, and toughness over pure size[12][15].
