As a College Recruit
Uniquely built jumbo athlete with a high developmental upside. Newer to football, having little varsity experience. One of the bigger, more athletic prospects in the 2023 cycle. Measured at over 6-foot-7, 250 pounds with a 6-foot-11 wing-span prior to his senior season. Gained over 20 pounds from the spring to the summer and has the frame to continue adding substantial mass once in a college strength program. Registers as a top athlete in combine settings, running an electronically-timed sub-5.0 second 40-yard dash in addition to top marks in the shuttle and vertical. Has played little high school football as his original high school scuttled its football program. Transferred to Santa Margarita Catholic prior to his senior year and played well in a handful of games before sustaining an injury. Flashed considerable upside and better than expected technique and physicality at Under Armour’s Future 50 event prior to his senior season. Has a background in basketball. One of the more unknown prospects in the 2023 cycle given his lack of padded football experience, but has a considerable upside as a big defensive end or perhaps even a pass rushing interior defensive lineman depending on his ultimate size.
Collins Acheampong's extreme stature, frame and length along with his relatively undeveloped skill set reminds us of Clifton Geathers. Acheampong physically resembles other taller defensive linemen like Deforest Buckner, Calais Campbell and Michael Johnson and could have a career arc to that degree, but has played much less football than the others prior to college.

Collins Acheampong flashes physical upside at Under Armour Future 50
+ Michigan EDGE commit Collins Acheampong has played little to no real football to this point, but flashed a considerable physical upside that makes him one of the more intriguing prospects on hand at Under Armour Future 50. The 6-foot-7, 250-pounder has a huge frame and looked the part both in drills and 1-on-1’s.
