WR Malachi Coleman

[Decked]

Branch is also 5’10 175 versus a 6’4 190 fellow. Disadvantaged in such a short distance and still almost won out of a bad stance 

 

[MyBloodIsRed16]

Well he will be starting plays out of a 2 point stance so the choice makes sense.  False first step probs cost him the win tho.  

 

[BigRedBuster]

I thought it looked like Coleman won.

He wants to run the 100 meters for the Husker track team.  Looking to set some more high school records this spring so he's not enrolling at UNL until June.

Playing in the Polynesian Bowl which is Friday at 8 PM CST on NFL Network.

He is crazy fast.  With that being said he is the 3rd Fastest incoming Freshman on the football team.

But I think all of them are fast enough to be on the track team.  Two of them are planning on it for sure.

I agree.  Not a knock on Coleman, just pointing out the emphasis put on speed for our skill players in Rhule's first class.  Turner would have placed at the B1G conference meet as a JR in HS.  It will be fun to watch these guys develop on the field and on the track.  Coleman seems very raw  with unlimited potential in both football and track.

Who is the fastest? Turner or Lloyd?

 

[swmohusker]

Turner.  He has ran a 10.25 100m and a 21.04 200m.  I think Lloyd is around a 10.4-10.5.  Coleman is right about the same as LLoyd.  All 3 can roll. 

 

[Husker in WI]

Turner.  He has ran a 10.25 100m and a 21.04 200m.  I think Lloyd is around a 10.4-10.5.  Coleman is right about the same as LLoyd.  All 3 can roll. 

Turner's 10.25 was with a pretty significant wind so it might be closer than it looks. But yeah, they all fast.

Yep, the 100m would be pretty darn close.  Turner could be a sub 21 200m kid this year too.  That is Tyreek Hill fast.

Now, I hope they just develop as football players.

NEXT FIVE OFFENSE
Malachi Coleman, WR- Nebraska
Coleman is one of the freakier athletes in this year’s event. He’s all of 6-3.5, pushing 200 pounds and can RUN. He’s an explosive kid and has had multiple acrobatic catches showing off a nice catch radius. He has a track background and just narrowly lost to Branch in the fastest man competition but what impressed us this week is he’s not just a straight line guy but has some wiggle in his game too. He has all the tools to be an immediate impact player for the Huskers.
