West Virginia has several spots to fill in the 2021 recruiting class and one player that has emerged onto the radar is Hutchinson C.C. (Kan.) defensive back Caleb Coleman.
Coleman, 6-foot-2, 185-pounds, signed with the Blue Dragons out of Smiths Station, Alabama after being a full qualifier out of high school.
Over the course of five games, Coleman has collected 18 tackles and a pair of interceptions which prompted interest from several schools including the Mountaineers.
Co-defensive coordinator ShaDon Brown extended a scholarship offer to Coleman and he naturally was excited about adding the Big 12 Conference program to his list.
“I have been talking to West Virginia for almost three weeks. I have talked to all the defensive coaches and the head coach,” he said. “I love the school and am very thankful for the offer.”
The Mountaineers are targeting Coleman as a safety and like his size as well as his range at the position given his experience at the junior college level.
Already Coleman has taken a virtual visit to Wrest Virginia along with Washington State and Western Kentucky and hopes to find a place where he can fit in at the next level.
Along with West Virginia, Western Kentucky has offered a number of others are showing interest.
The plan is for Coleman to select a college and enroll in the summer and given the nature of this past season he would have four years to play at the college level.
