Nebraska wide receiver signee Malachi Coleman continued to show the surprisingly refined wide receiver skills that lead to his rankings rise after the All-American Bowl. The 6-foot-4, 190-pounder’s elite top-end speed is well-known, but he’s impressed on the all-star circuit with crisp routes and plus ball skills. Coleman came down with a high-point grab between two defensive backs early in the Polynesian Bowl and later made a touchdown catch in traffic. The Nebraska native capped off his evening by tracking a pass over his shoulder for a 35-yard touchdown. Coleman was an obvious mismatch against the Team Mauka secondary.

Coleman’s reputation as one of the more explosive jumbo athletes in the cycle is well known. He has posed sub-10.5 second times in the 100 meters at around 6-foot-3 190 pounds. With that said, Coleman’s rise is due to the surprising level of polish he showed as a receiver at the All-American Bowl. The Nebraska signee impressed with his route-running ability and ball skills.
