Audavion Collins aims for leadership role in Penn State secondary
Summary

Audavion Collins is expected to be a key player for the Penn State Nittany Lions in 2026 as the team restructures its roster. After a strong 2025 season where he recorded 47 tackles and earned All-Big Ten honorable mentions, Collins seeks to elevate his performance as the team's secondary undergoes significant changes. The Nittany Lions rely on Collins and fellow corner Zion Tracy to provide leadership in a less experienced group. Success for Collins will hinge on his ability to step up and handle increased responsibilities in this new defensive framework.
