That question remains open but that really isn’t the point in this article, trying to answer that question. The point of this article is to dive into more of 2025 6’5 Madden Collins game and why he has been a huge stock riser so far this high school season.
Collins has been one on our radars for quite some time now, rewinding the tape a few years ago when he was a prospect just starting his story. There was always intrigue with his game and size, but it is clear that he has continued to develop his overall game and now has clearly put himself in the spotlight here in North Carolina.

Committed to American, Collins looks to be playing stress-free basketball, having his commitment behind him and locking into his team as they hope to secure another state title. His game is highly intriguing, as he has shown himself to be one of the clear leaders on the court but also the straw that stirs the drink for them. Offensively, his blend of size, ability to create, playmaking, and scoring is fun to watch as he can hurt you in a variety of ways. Collins makes quality decisions, sees the floor and makes unselfish decisions, sets up his teammates well, and understands how to create for himself inside and out. And again, this is all at 6’5, as his length provides a lot of advantages with his game. But Collins doesn’t just get it done on the offensive end, he impacts the game so well defensively and on the boards. He rebounds the ball well at his position, willing to mix it up and help on the glass. Defensively, he may be one of the more underrated on-ball defenders in the state, but I believe that will change by the end of the year. He creates havoc for opponents, has great timing in picking opponents’ pockets and allows his defense to turn into offense.
Collins has elevated his game to another level and is embracing being one of the senior leaders for this team. And his two-way presence has been a big piece to Christ School’s success so far this season. Collins looks locked in, focused, and ready to make a run at a title before heading off the American, and we believe he will only continue to take strides at the next level.
