Smart, physical Notre Dame safety who peaked with a 2013 ball-hawking surge
In the 2013 season, Austin Collinsworth started 11 games for Notre Dame and posted 43 tackles with 3 interceptions, showing the kind of rangy, instinctive safety play coaches love: reliable, assignment-sound, and opportunistic in coverage. He also brought special-teams value earlier in his career, and his game was built on toughness, football IQ, and steady improvement rather than flashy measurables. The caution flag is durability, since his college career included a missed 2012 season and a limited 2014 campaign, so he fits best as a high-floor, leadership-heavy defensive back rather than a pure upside swing.
