Early life Born in Düsseldorf, Collins spent time in the academy of Fortuna Düsseldorf.
Club career Borussia Dortmund Collins joined Borussia Dortmund in 2016, and rose quickly through the youth ranks, linking up with the U19 squad at the age of 16. Following these good performances, he was reportedly subject of a £2 million bid from English club Chelsea. However, he signed a new contract in May 2020, and was invited to train with the first team in March 2021.
Having been called up to the first team for pre-season friendlies, Collins featured in a 3–1 loss to fellow Bundesliga side VfL Bochum, however he went off injured after suffering a dislocated kneecap.
Eintracht Frankfurt On 8 August 2023, Collins joined Eintracht Frankfurt by signing a five-year contract. On 5 April 2024, he made his senior debut against Werder Bremen and played for 65 minutes in a 1–1 draw.
International career Collins represented Germany at youth international level. He is also eligible to represent Nigeria and the Poland through family.
In August 2025, Collins received his first call-up to the German senior team from coach Julian Nagelsmann for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. On 4 September that year, he made his debut in a 2–0 away defeat against Slovakia. His debut did not go well and he was overwhelmed as a right-back. He received the lowest possible grade from kicker, which made him the weakest Germany debutant in history in terms of grading.
Style of play In 2021, Collins was recognised as one of the best young talents in Germany
