As a College Recruit

An elite size and speed athlete as a two-way star at Lincoln (Neb.) East. Could be the most physically-gifted wide receiver prospect in the 2023 cycle. Stands in around 6-foot-3.5, 190 pounds with 33-inch arms. Was initially viewed as a two-way athlete prospect but became more of a wide receiver over the course of his high school career. Ran eye-popping track times with a 10.46 second 100 meter mark and 21.31 seconds in the 200 meters as a junior. Also jumped 46-foot-4 in the triple jump. Plays off the edge on defense and as a wide receiver on offense. Totaled 496 yards and 6 touchdowns on 31 catches in eight games as a senior. Also played defense, tallying 32 tackles. Possesses the top end speed to beat corners over the top at receiver. Ridiculous catch radius allows him to win on contested catches. Looked more refined and skilled in all-star settings than he did on senior film. Showed pleasantly surprising route-running and ball skills. Capable of dropping his weight to change direction. Showed the ability to elevate and come down with catches in traffic. Posted strong showings at both the All-American Bowl and the Polynesian Bowl, making him a 'stock up' prospect late in the cycle. Despite the surprising level of refinement, still relatively undeveloped compared to some other top receivers to go with below average production at the high school level.

Malachi Coleman catches two touchdowns in the Polynesian Bowl

Charles Power•

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.

Malachi Coleman rises in final On300 rankings

Charles Power•

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.
