Kentucky DB coach Chris Collins earning national praise as rising star

It could be a challenge for Kentucky football to hold onto Chris Collins in the coming years. The Wildcats’ defensive backs coach is beginning to make a name for himself on the national stage.

On Wednesday morning, On3’s Matt Zenitz unveiled his annual list of the top rising stars when it comes to Power 5 assistant coaches. The list is made up of 30 assistants under the age of 45 who have been garnering praise from Zenitz’s endless bag of college football sources. Collins, who is about to enter year three as Kentucky’s DB coach, was named to the list.
