New Nebraska assistant coach stops by to see Malachi Coleman

Ahead of the upcoming junior days the Nebraska staff was on the road checking out some of the area's top talent. There were some new offers and there was some checking in on some existing ones. Malachi Coleman from Lincoln (Neb.) East had a chance to meet the new wide receivers coach at Nebraska today.

Nebraska led out with their ace recruiter to come by and see talented, three-star athlete Coleman. The new assistant coach made no bones about wanting Coleman to play offense for him. It's undeniable that Coleman is still growing into his frame however.

"Coach Mickey Joseph was at the school to see me today," Coleman said. "He told my coach that he wants me on offense as a wide receiver. Nebraska is waiting to see how I can fill out because I could get pretty big."

Coleman has also now had a chance to talk with Joseph since being hired at NU.

"Personally, it was an instant connection for me with coach Joseph. I have heard a lot about him and it's been great to now get to talk to communicate with him."

Coleman went on to say that the changes on the Nebraska offensive staff, particularly coach Joseph, has helped Nebraska already.

"It absolutely has," Coleman said. "I will be at Nebraska's junior day next weekend. I want to see how they operate and how the teach."

Coleman has been playing basketball for East High School. He is also lifting and working out for football. He plans to do track in the spring as well as seven on seven football.

Coleman's junior season film is below. His junior stats were 17 receptions for 561 yards and 10 touchdowns. His longest touchdown was 93 yards. On defense, Coleman led the Spartans with 7.5 sacks to go along with 57 total tackles.
