Malachi Coleman News, Rumors, Updates - Wisconsin Badgers

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. So, ideally for him, his third [Big Ten team] grants him more snaps and catch opportunities.

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. It's possible he was simply resting for the session, as he has worked consistently with the first-team offense throughout fall camp and is could be among the Badgers' starting receivers to start the season.

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.

Not dressed Saturday Coleman (undisclosed) is not dressed for Saturday's game versus UCLA, Steve Marik of Rivals reports.

Impact Coleman has only played in three snaps this season, so his absence from Saturday's game is not surprising. Near the start of the season, head coach Matt Rhule said that Coleman would likely redshirt this year and given his lack of playing time, it appears that is still the plan.

Likely redshirting this season Coleman will likely redshirt during the 2024 season, Luke Mullin of the Lincoln Journal Star reports.

Healthy; Redshirt candidate Coleman did not see the field during Saturday's 40-7 win over UTEP, and remains a likely redshirt candidate for the Huskers, Amie Just of the Lincoln Journal Star reports.

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. The 6-foot-5 sophomore wideout, who tallied eight receptions for 139 yards and a touchdown in 2023, seems likely to preserve his eligibility and redshirt this season.

Huals in long TD in win Coleman totaled one reception (on two targets) for 44 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 17-9 win over Northwestern.

Impact Coleman caught just his second pass of the season when he settled under a deep pass into the end zone from quarterback Heinrich Haarberg on Saturday. The true freshman wideout did not log a statistic through his first four games of the season, but he's begun to see significant playing time due to a rash of injuries in Nebraska's receiver room. As a result, it seems likely that Coleman will continue seeing a fair share of targets alongside fellow wideout Alex Bullock and tight end Thomas Fidone.
