Mason Shipley was a big part of the sell, as was Jeff Banks.
“They’re always great,” Collett said about his conversations with Banks. “He’s a great guy. He always brings the energy and he’s always great towards me and my family.”
Everything was a highlight for Collett, and that’s why he joined the Longhorns’ 2026 class.
Collett is ranked by Kohl’s Kicking as the No. 2 kicker in the 2026 class.
