McCollum plays both football and baseball at Dutchtown High School. In football, McCollum is rated as a three-star recruit by both Rivals (5.6) and the 247 Sports Composite (0.8789). In baseball, he plays second base and outfield and received a rating of 10 by Perfect Game, which is the highest rating possible.
He originally committed to NC State on March 31, but announced his decommitment September 26:

McCollum figures to fit in as a slot receiver in Dave Patenaude’s offense. He does a great job once he gets the ball in his hands. He’s got really good speed, but I was really impressed with his open-field moves. He was really shifty.
