Coleman breaks down programs standing out to him
Coleman discussed schools standing out in his recruitment with Simmons.
Alabama: “They produce top-10 receivers every year. They have great play-calling. They like to throw the ball down the field, get it to their receivers and they also develop receivers.”
Auburn: “They got a great coaching staff. They got a lot of experience in the coaching room. Coach (Hugh) Freeze, coach (Marcus) Davis, he played at Auburn.”
Florida State: “I like the atmosphere, the tradition. The coaching staff is real friendly. It’s just a great school overall.”
Michigan: “(Wide receivers coach Ron Bellamy and I have) been building a relationship. I haven’t been to Michigan yet, but I’ve been looking forward to getting to Michigan for a while. They have a great academic program, so it’s just a place I want to get to.”
Northwestern: “They’re just a really good coaching staff. They run a pro-style offense. They have a great academic program and I make good grades, so they took a chance on me because they have only offered like 10 receivers in the class of 2024.”
Penn State: “I was like, ‘Oh, I gotta get back up here.’ I’ve been talking to coach (Rashad) Rich. He’s been showing me around the campus, showing me what I’d be doing when I get up there. It was just a great experience when I went up there and I’m looking forward to getting back.”
