In past years, I’ve mainly seen Collins as a longstick midfielder, however, he’s been a huge addition at shortstick defensive midfield. Garden City was attacking the shorties, and Collins responded extremely well. The Lehigh-bound senior made a countless amount of little plays to help this Manhasset defense succeed. On the first possession of the second quarter, they dodged him multiple times and he played lockdown defense. He had excellent footwork and forced a low-angle shot off a question mark dodge that was saved. Garden City tested him throughout this game and he continued to step up. There were plenty of times when no help defense was needed and Collins straight-up won his matchups.
