He was regarded as one of the leaders of the team and was its captain during his senior year.

Collins grew up in Chicago where he was a multisport standout athlete at Crane High School. He was regarded as the second best point guard in the nation by Scout.com and was considered one of the two best class of 2006 basketball prospects in the state of Illinois (along with Jon Scheyer).

Collins was a well-decorated basketball player at Kansas.

He was included on many of the watchlists for the most prestigious college basketball awards as both a junior and senior. Collins holds the school record for most consecutive free throws.

Following his senior season, Collins was eligible for the 2010 NBA draft but went undrafted. Shortly after, he signed a free-agent contract with the Charlotte Bobcats and participated in their summer camp.[3] He represented them in the Orlando Summer League before being signed for the regular season.[4] In October 2012, he signed with the San Antonio Spurs, but he did not make their final roster.

It appears that Sherron Collins might not be coming to Lithuania after all. Despite official reports from Lietuvos Rytas, that terms had been agreed, the club's tone has taken a slight twist. "We have been proposed a new player and we are rather excited about the proposal. We haven't made up our minds about Collins, with whom the contract isn't signed yet. Everything will become clear this week," said Martynas Purlys, the club's General Manager. The new point guard will replace Khalid El-Amin, who got injured in Lietuvos Rytas' last Euroleague game of the season against Caja Laboral.
