Coleman was a highly sought-after four-star recruit in 2022. He opted to play for Deion Sanders at Jackson State in the FCS. He played for a different school each year after: Louisville, Mississippi State and Missouri.
Coleman didn't break out until his third season at Mississippi State, when he averaged 78 YPG and registered a 2.53 RYPTPA. He also notched a career-best 30% target share in 2024.
Coleman followed that up with 56 YPG and a 2.01 RYPTPA at Missouri. His late breakout and 78 Strength of Schedule Rating are the primary factors holding down his adjusted career RYPTPA.
He saw 64% of his targets come behind the line of scrimmage or 0-9 yards downfield, and finished his career with a 9.5 aDOT (41st percentile). He aligned wide on only 7% of snaps.
Coleman can also add value on special teams. He finished his career with 562 punt return yards and 1 TD.
Lance Zierlein of NFL.com gave Coleman a prospect grade of 6.14 (51st percentile). He sees him as a slot option who has good ball skills for his size. His 52% contested-catch rate aligns with that assessment.
