A New Star Emerges
Mason Collins, a 6‑foot‑6 wing born in the 2028 recruiting class, has become one of the most talked‑about prospects on the national basketball scene.
He attends The Tatnall School in Wilmington, Delaware, where he has posted strong numbers, averaging 17.2 points and 11.8 rebounds per game in the 2025‑26 season, and 19.0 points during a summer showcase in Las Vegas.
International Success
His game has already translated onto the international stage. Collins helped the USA U17 squad capture gold at the 2026 FIBA World Cup in Istanbul, and a year earlier contributed to the U16 team’s championship at the FIBA AmeriCup in Juarez.
The breakthrough came when Syracuse University announced a scholarship offer, joining a growing list of high‑major programs that have taken notice. In addition to the Orange, schools such as Florida State, Notre Dame, Georgetown and several others have expressed interest.
Collins currently competes for Team CP3 on Nike’s EYBL circuit, a platform that has launched many future stars. The exposure has helped him maintain a top‑10 national ranking among 2028 prospects.
With a blend of size, skill and a proven winning pedigree, the youngster is viewed as a potential cornerstone for the next generation of American basketball talent.
