Keon Coleman Looking To Make An Impact In Freshman Season

Keon Coleman has impressed already and has a chance for immediate playing time this fall.

Michigan State freshman wide receiver Keon Coleman waited until the late Signing Day to commit but when he did, Michigan State received a big addition to the 2021 recruiting class. The freshman is already impressing the coaching staff just a few weeks into his first season. With Coleman's contributions, the Michigan State wide receiver room is beginning to take form as the Spartans are just a little over two weeks from taking on Northwestern.

Jayden Reed, Jalen Nailor and Tre Mosley lead the way for the group but guys such as Montorie Foster, Terry Lockett Jr. and Coleman are vying to get reps this fall.

Today, after the team's practice, Mel Tucker spoke to the media and said that several players impressed on Saturday at the Spartans scrimmage and listed Coleman as one of those players.

Offensive coordinator Jay Johnson has also noticed Coleman's efforts.

"Coleman is young — very young — very raw, but has a great talent," he said.

Johnson also added that he expects Coleman, Foster, Lockett and Christian Fitzpatrick to step up for them this fall.

Coleman has an excellent frame standing at 6-4, 200 pounds and also has above average hands.
