WR Keon Coleman

The former Michigan State wide receiver transfer Keon Coleman had a somewhat quiet performance in the Seminoles’ victory over the Virginia Tech Hokies where he only recorded three catches for 22 yards. Coleman has had a sensational 2023 campaign where he has caught 20 passes for 278 yards and six touchdowns.

With Travis anticipating to have a big contest against the Orange, his playmakers will likely benefit from the performance. Given that wide receiver Johnny Wilson and tight end Jaheim Bell are dealing with injuries, I expect Coleman to pick up the slack and perform at an elite level.

If the Seminoles want to be serious contenders for the ACC Championship and possess a College Football Playoff berth, players such as Keon Coleman need to rise up to the occasion.
