Prior to NKU: Collins is a 6-1 center back from Olentangy Liberty High School in Powell, Ohio. Collins was a four-year varsity letter winner, and was named his team's MVP, first team all-conference and second team all-state in 2017. He was also a team captain in 2016 and 2017. He plays for the Ohio Premier club under head coach Travis Wall, where he helped his team to the Ohio South State Cup Championship and a national appearance.

Coach Riddle on Collins: “Wes (along with Sam Slocum and Sam Mason) will join us after an exceptional club career at Ohio Premier. He has a very big upside and the potential to become a very good Division I defender when he adjusts to the speed of play and the higher level of opponent.”
