The Wisconsin football program is taking a swing at a transfer wide receiver whose addition is rooted more in projection than production.
Former Minnesota wide receiver Malachi Coleman has committed to the Badgers out of the transfer portal, giving Wisconsin a big-bodied pass catcher who began his career with a high-end recruiting pedigree and still has two years of eligibility left. It’s a move that reflects both where the room stands right now and how the staff wants it to look moving forward.
Coleman is 6-foot-5, 200 pounds, and brings a profile that still turns heads, even if the on-field output hasn’t caught up yet.
