Florida Football Recruiting Busts 2021: Corey Collier

The 2021 class fell back to 12th in the national rankings but still had some highly-touted players like Jason Marshall, Scooby Williams, and Tyreak Sapp.

Florida football fans are still waiting for those guys to have their formal breakout party, but the fourth-highest prospect for Florida from that class, Corey Collier, has to be defined as a 100% bust for the Gators.

Despite being the 106th-best prospect nationally, Collier could never break into the safety rotation ahead of Trey Dean and Rashad Torrence. Kamari Wilson also came in and took snaps away, and Collier left Gainesville this past off-season after appearing in just five games over two seasons
