Four-Star ATH Malachi Coleman decommits from Nebraska
Lincoln (NE) four-star athlete Malachi Coleman announced his decommitment from Nebraska Thursday morning.
The 6-foot-5, 205 pounder had been committed to the Cornhuskers since October.
Coleman sent a statement to On3 regarding his decommitment:
I would love to thank all the coaches and staff at Nebraska that recruited me and believed in me. It has been a long journey and my story will not end here.
With the recent changes to the Nebraska coaching staff, I would like to take a step back and reevaluate Nebraska and other schools.
With that being said I will be reopening my recruitment.
Sincerely Malachi

Has burst and quickness off the ball combined with a high motor to hunt down ball carriers from the backside. Possesses the top end speed to beat corners over the top at receiver. Ridiculous catch radius allows him to win on contested catches. Immediate impact could be as a sub-package edge rusher or as a vertical weapon at wide receiver at the next level. Will need to add necessary mass however in order to gain a more significant role on defense. Definition of a true NFL-caliber athlete on both sides of the ball.”
Coleman currently ranks as the No.69 player in the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that accounts for all four major recruiting services. He also tabs in as the No. 2 athlete and the No. 1 player in the state of Nebraska.
