When you rank among the top prospects in the nation at your position, you pretty much have your choice of any elite football program in the country. Judging by the Top 7 list of Pinson, Ala., receiver Nico Collins, that appears to be the case yet again.
The 6-foot-5, 195-pound Collins took to Twitter Friday night to announce his top choices. Alabama, Georgia, LSU and Ole Miss made the list from the SEC:

Rated as a four-star recruit, the No. 2 prospect from Alabama and the No. 79 overall prospect in the nation according to 247Sports Composite Ratings, Collins narrowed his list down to these seven despite having offers from Florida, Tennessee, Mississippi State, Missouri, Florida State, Miami and Virginia Tech among others.
Collins has twice been named as an Alabama All-State Selection and recorded 60 catches, 1,103 receiving yards and 16 receiving touchdowns as a junior. Despite needing to add weight to his lengthy frame to excel at the SEC level, Collins is an incredibly physical receiver for the high school level. Check out his highlight reel for yourself and you’ll see a number of defensive backs forced to sacrifice their bodies in effort to bring him down:
