UCF DT Thomas Collins Talks Moving Cross-Country, Family and Football in Sweden

UCF defensive tackle Thomas Collins shared during Knights Media Day how he’s settled into a program he calls tightly connected, especially in the D-line room. After spring practice and the start of fall camp, Collins said the group’s work with Kenny Martin and fellow tackles has centered on detail and a “positive pressure” culture. He also discussed moving from Oregon to Central Florida, citing the weather, opportunities to practice outdoors, and the food. Off the field, Collins is still working to get a US driver’s license, requiring an official residency card due to his Sweden status. He added he wants to attend games next spring.
