Draft Profile: Bio
Malachi Coleman from Lincoln East High School was rated a 4-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 4-star grade by 247 Sports. After high school, Coleman opted to join Nebraska.In 2023 as a freshman Coleman saw action in 11 games for the Cornhuskers as he made 8 receptions for only 139 yards for an average of 17.4 yards per reception, with one TD, and only QB rating when targeted of 36.0.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Has a knack for getting open and is a quarterback's best friend - passers just need to toss the ball in his area and he'll come down with it.
- Coleman gets off the line with a nice burst and is very fluid in his movements with little wasted steps in his routes.
- Strong runner with the ball with enough agility to make defenders miss in the open field.
- A fluid mover capable of creating some separation over the middle of the field, Coleman has the long arms and soft hands to provide a sizable catch radius.
- Coleman also proved to be a force in catch-and-run situations. A violent runner who transitions upfield quickly after the catch, he has the speed to pick up chunks of yardage once he’s broken the first tackle.
- Has enough upper-body strength and tenacity to be very effective as a downfield blocker. Is not shy about taking on his man, provides some pop and will open a running lane for his back at the next level.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Does not always use his hands to secure deep throws, allowing the ball into his pads and chest.
- He’s not going to threaten to take the top off of a defense.
- Coleman also lacks suddenness as a route runner, and that is a potential issue at the next level.
