-- One of the most physically impressive defensive prospects was Little Rock (Ark.) Mills' Charleston Collins, who put himself in strong consideration for top defensive performers. Collins had his ups and down during 1-on-1 reps, but his ups really impressed, and his physical traits give him an immense developmental ceiling in the long term.

Top Defensive Lineman: DE Charleston Collins

Little Rock (Ark.) Mills four-star defensive end Charleston Collins has a combination of size and speed that makes him near impossible to control off the edge, as the Arkansas native made move-after-move on Sunday during one-on-ones to get around offensive tackles and into the backfield.

Collins has always had a quick burst about him that allows him to get off the line in a hurry, but his weight room work was what was most evident when he was able to line up with a more agile offensive tackle as he brutalized a pair of guys in the trenches after his initial get-off.

The four-star currently sits outside of the Rivals250 and is ranked as the No. 5 recruit from Arkansas, but his performance over the weekend warrants both of those categories seeing improvements.

TOP247 WATCH: CHARLESTON COLLINS, DL
Whether it's bulking to a true interior defensive line role or staying around the 6-foot-4, 250 pounds he already embodies and playing a big edge role, Little Rock (Ark.) Mills' Charleston Collins passed the eyeball test on the hoof and in his movement ability at this past weekend's Under Armour Dallas Regional. Collins combined encouraging measurables with promising testing data and better-than-expected fluidity during position drills. His 1-on-1 matchups produced mixed results, but he flashed get-off burst and body control in his wins. We already liked Collins a lot -- hence the high three-star 89 rating -- but he rises to a four-star 90 with potential Top247 candidacy following live exposure and valuable data. Collins has caught the eyes of plenty of college programs. Arkansas and LSU have gotten 247Sports Crystal Ball predictions. Texas and Michigan have offered Collins in march.
