Once-heralded Nebraska receiver will search for a fresh start once again
Steven Branscombe/GettyImagesAt both Nebraska and Minnesota, Malachi Coleman's coaches believed big things were ahead for the talented wide receiver. Those big things never came at either school, and now he's expected to look for someplace where he can hope the third time is the charm.
Coleman came to the Huskers as one of the most significant commitments in Matt Rhule's first class after arriving in Lincoln. The battle between NU and Colorado went down to the wire before Coach Prime was finally rebuffed. However, after a solid, if unspectacular, freshman season, he didn't play a down in 2024 and redshirted. After the season, he entered the portal and joined the Golden Gophers.
