Audavion Collins, the Penn State offense’s ‘arch nemesis’ in practice, ready after ‘best offseason’
- Audavion Collins returns as a projected starting Penn State cornerback after starting all 13 games in 2025 and playing the fourth-most defensive snaps on the team.
- Collins has been tracked above 23 mph and pairs that speed with an aggressive willingness to support the run and attack receiver screens.
- Penn State's quarterbacks and receivers regard Collins as a difficult practice matchup because he can cover both routes in high-low concepts without being manipulated by the quarterback's eyes.
- Collins called 2026 his best offseason after increasing his film work under D'Anton Lynn, while Penn State retained most of a cornerback room that projects as a defensive strength.
