Impact Coleman was knocked out of Wisconsin's win over Western Illinois after a hard collision downfield that resulted in him hitting his head on the turf. Head coach Luke Fickell remained mum on the wideout's status for Saturday, but considering it's the Badgers' final buy game against Eastern Michigan, they have little incentive to rush the gifted wideout back into action.

Healthy for fall camp Coleman (undisclosed) is healthy for Wisconsin's fall camp, Evan Flood of On3.com reports.

Impact During 2023, as part of Nebraska, Coleman logged eight receptions (on 24 targets) for 139 yards and one touchdown. After redshirting the NCAA's 2024 season, he subsequently transferred colleges to Minnesota. During 2025, Coleman recorded nine targets.

Limited participant Thursday Coleman (undisclosed) did not participate in team drills during Wisconsin's Thursday practice, Evan Flood of On3.com reports.

Impact Coleman did not see action with either the first or second-team offense for the Badgers Thursday, and there is no official reason why.

Taking first-team reps Coleman was observed taking the initial first-team reps Saturday, Evan Flood of On3.com reports.

Impact The Minnesota transfer saw plenty of action with the first team, which bodes well for his chances of seeing a larger role this season. The 6-foot-5 wide receiver will need to continue impressing the coaching staff if he wants to improve on opportunities after totaling five receptions for 83 yards across 7 games last season.

Signs with Wisconsin Coleman will transfer to Wisconsin, per Nick Osen of 247Sports.com.

Impact Coleman spent two seasons at Nebraska and the past year at Minnesota. The wideout has totaled 13 catches for 222 yards and one touchdown. He'll take his talents to Madison with two seasons of eligibility remaining. Wisconsin has very little proven and/or returning production at receiver; Coleman should be given every opportunity to earn a meaningful role. At 6-foot-5, he also has the tall, lanky frame the Badgers were lacking at wideout.

Impact A whopping 107 players saw the field for Nebraska during the Cornhuskers' season opener according to Mitch Sherman of The Athletic, and despite head coach Matt Rhule assuring reporters that Coleman was healthy, he was not one of them.
