Collier is the No. 83 overall player in the cycle, No. 3 player at his position, and a top-15 player in the state per 247Sports Composite.
For the second-straight day, the Florida Gators added a Miami Palmetto Panther to their 2021 recruiting class, this time in the form of four-star safety Corey Collier.
Per the 247Sports Composite, Collier is the No. 83 overall player in the cycle, the No. 3 player at his position, and a top-15 player in the state.
Primarily recruited by quarterbacks coach Brian Johnson and cornerbacks coach Torrian Gray, Florida originally offered the standout defensive back on October 15, 2018, when he was just a sophomore.
He took an unofficial visit to Gainesville on June 13, 2019 — along with teammate Jason Marshall, a five-star cornerback who pledged to the Gators on Sunday — and returned to campus on March 7 for one of the program’s Junior Days.
Collier’s father, Cornelius, played cornerback for the Florida State Seminoles under legendary head coach Bobby Bowden from 1999-2002, a sign of athletic bloodlines.
Andrew Ivins, a Miami Hurricanes insider for 247Sports, projects Collier as a starter at the Power Five level, but one that may need a year or two to develop first.
“Long frame with long limbs that doesn’t appear to be anywhere near close to being fully physically developed as the body is still maturing,” Ivins began in his prospect breakdown.
“Should add muscle mass once in college strength program, which will make him more explosive. An intelligent defender with good ball skills that knows how to take the right angles.”
The 24th commit in the Gators’ upcoming class, Collier is the fifth defensive back in the haul, joining Marshall, Canonsburg, Pennsylvania safety Donovan McMillon, Winter Park safety Dakota Mitchell, and Tampa cornerback Jordan Young.
McMillon, Mitchell, and Young are each listed as three-star recruits.
Overall, Collier is the second-highest rated commit in the group, trailing only Marshall.
With this latest addition, Florida’s 2021 class is now ranked No. 6 nationally and third-best in the Southeastern Conference (SEC), behind only Nick Saban’s Alabama Crimson Tide (No. 2 in America) and Jeremy Pruitt’s Tennessee Volunteers (No. 5).

Texas has once again landed an offensive line prospect, this time at center. Three-star OC Mike Myslinski announced his commitment to UT.
Texas has once again landed an offensive line prospect, this time at center. Mike Myslinski of Jacksonville, Florida announced his commitment to the Longhorns Thursday morning.
Myslinski is the No. 12 center in the country and rated a three-star on the 247Sports composite. Texas beat out big-time schools, with Myslinski committing to the Longhorns over Duke, Florida State, Iowa, Louisville, Maryland, Michigan State, and Missouri.
Offensive line head coach Herb Hand only offered Myslinski on April 3, 2020. The center unofficially visited Austin on June 20 and was apart of Texas’ 2021 recruiting class just over a month later.

After losing out on the top center in the country, James Brockermeyer, the Longhorns’ offensive line seems set in the 2021 class. Myslinski joins tackle Hayden Connor as recruiting wins for Hand.
As it has been the past four years, the Longhorns have the top recruiting class in the Big 12. However, being ranked outside the top 10 nationally is new for Tom Herman. Texas sits at No. 12.
