Martavious Collins announced his commitment to Auburn on Friday. The peach state prospect was previously committed to Alabama, but will now instead be playing for their biggest rival. Collins had his decision made as early as April 8th after he took an unofficial visit to the Tigers. “Saturday kind of sealed the deal. I was going to make sure my mom and them got down there before I even made a decision. If they felt good then it was a go.”

Once Robinson made up his mind, he wasted no time making his decision. “I wanted to do it now because I just wanted to lock in with a school and be a part of something special and I’m very excited to make my decision. It honestly means everything to me.” This is a big recruiting win for Cristobal and the company, as they are taking steps to keep Florida’s top prospects in the Sunshine State.

The talented 2025 prospect has several visits lined up, including trips to Ohio State, Notre Dame, Tennessee, and Penn State. He has good speed for a back, running a 10.69 100-meter dash as a sophomore in high school. It’s still early, but whoever gets his services will receive a phenomenal weapon on the offensive side of the ball.
