Stepped in right away at the post position and was a force... gives the Vikings the size they need inside... good defender and shot blocker... has a 7’2” wingspan.

COACH GEVING SAYS: “Having the leading shot blocker back is huge for us and our defense. Collin did a good job in the off-season. He probably put on 15 pounds, which will be good for him. Collin has done a good job of working on his offensive skills too. We need him to give us more from an offensive standpoint, get him some more low-post touches and get him to the free throw line more.”
