Congrats to Collins Price for being chosen as Athlete of the Week (AOW). AOW recognizes male and female student-athletes who perform at high levels in their sports, classrooms, and school communities. Collins earns this recognition due to his strong leadership and exceptional play, which makes him a triple-threat player for the Trojan football team.

In a recent victory over Riverwood, Collins had 13 receptions for 160 yards, four solo tackles defensively, and two returns for 57 yards on special teams. Overall, he accounted for 217 all-purpose yards in the 30-0 region win. He is also a high-performer in the classroom with a 4.2+ GPA. Collins is a true ambassador at Lassiter and is well-respected by everyone—administrators, teachers, and classmates alike.

"Collins has meant a great deal to our football team during his three years with us," said Head Coach Sean Thom. "He has had one of the most productive seasons I have seen to date for a high school player. He has accounted for nearly 1,300 all-purpose yards and 11 touchdowns. He encourages others on the team and holds them accountable. He leads by example in all he does."

Collins stands out for more than his athletic talent. "He is simply one of the hardest-working student-athletes we have. He lives out our mission of integrity, service before self, and using football to become the best version of himself daily. He is a selfless individual who understands that his own success is dependent on what others around him do as well. Collins is viewed as the all-around student-athlete by coaches, teammates, and peers," concluded Coach Thom proudly.

Thanks to BSN Sports for helping make the AOW program possible.
