Raleigh Collins III brings size, versatility, and proven ball production to YSU’s secondary
Raleigh Collins III is a 6-foot-3, 208-pound defensive back who arrives at Youngstown State with real game reps and a knack for making plays on the ball; in the 2025 season at New Hampshire, he played all 13 games and posted 40 tackles, 2 interceptions, and 3 QB hurries, with a season-high seven tackles and a pick against Holy Cross. His best calling card is length and position flexibility—he’s been used at nickel and safety, which makes him a useful fit for matchups, run support, and disguise-heavy coverage. If a team wants a physical, experienced DB with upside, he’s a strong fit.
