Early Signing Day 2022 Profile: Defensive Lineman Ta'Derius Collins

Written by Sammy Jacobs (@Hoosier_Huddle)

The early signing period for college football is now open and prospects and transfers are inking letters of intent all over the country. Hoosier Huddle will have profiles on all the football signees as well as an update from head coach Tom Allen.

The Hoosiers added a potential game changer in four-star (Rivals) defensive lineman Ta’Derius Collins. The Hoosiers beat out 20 other schools for his services including Arkansas, Auburn, Baylor, Kansas State, Louisville, Minnesota, Mississippi State, Missouri, TCU and Texas.

Collins was named Co-MVP of District 1-4A by the district coaches as a senior after he made 62 tackles with 24.0 tackles for loss and 12.0 sacks and added three forced fumbles. As a sophomore earned honorable mention All-District 1-4A .

Collis should be able to compete for early playing time as the Hoosiers lack playmakers upfront on defense.
