Malachi Coleman’s Big Break | Wisconsin Badgers Football News

0:00On September 11th, Wisconsin's football team, the Badgers, went all in on the transfer portal this off-season, bringing in over 30 new players. Their strategy at White Receiver was particularly aggressive, adding four new faces to a group that only had three returning players. They were betting on Raw talent, with most of these new guys having limited experience at the major college level. This approach meant a fierce competition for starting spots throughout Spring and Fall practices. By the time Week 1 rolled around, the depth chart started to solidify, and one player, Malachi Coleman, really turned heads. He put up impressive numbers, four catches for 76 yards in a touchdown, making some serious plays that got people talking. Coleman himself was kind of an overlooked addition, considering his past production wasn't exactly stellar. Those 76 yards he gained last weekend were almost as much as he got in his entire previous season. It's a big turnaround. Especially since he didn't record any stats in 2024 and had a modest performance at his

Previously coached at Minnesota, played a role in recruiting him. Fickle also touched on the general difficulty of building a team solely through the transfer portal, emphasizing that it emballs a lot of educated guesses. Despite the uncertainty, Coleman's physical presence at 6 feet 5 inches and 205 pounds gives the badgers a serious deep threat. With his combination of size and speed, he has the potential to become Wisconsin's leading receiver and what's shaping up to be a very unpredictable position group this season.
