TE Donte Coleman (Mar 24)

Donte Coleman ..... West Mesquite (Mesquite, TX)
3-star ..... TE ..... 6-4/219 ..... Texas Tech Fresno State​

Although Coleman committed to Texas Tech on March 21, UT submitted their own offer on the 24th.

Per HD:
Coleman is a versatile player with abilities that translate to the flex tight end and big outside receiver spots. Good frame with height and length that suggest above average potential for bulk addition. Willing and able as a blocker. Shows toughness as a blocker and with the ball in his hands. Has a knack for finding open areas in the defense.

Per BON:
Targeting the former wide receiver who made the the move to tight end in 2014 makes sense because he has the size to grow into an in-line tight end at 6'4 and 220 pounds and he has a nice blend of pass-catching skills and blocking experience along the line.

He shows good speed and the potential to be a very good route-runner. As a blocker, ...he doesn't so much block inside linebackers as explode into them when they don't have their head on a swivel. By the time he has filled out he should be much stronger and more physically prepared to take on college linemen and linebackers at the point of attack, and he already shows the requisite aggressiveness to excel in that area.

 

I love how he just threw that CB down at 1:04

 

Nebraska guy CB'd Coleman to Cornaggy

 

Higs now says Coleman no longer "a good fit."
So, seems unlikely
