Malachi Coleman’s Big Break | Wisconsin Badgers Football News

Wisconsin’s Badgers went all-in on the transfer portal this offseason, flooding their roster with over thirty newcomers—especially at wide receiver, where four new players joined just three returning stars. Betting on raw talent, they faced brutal competition for starting roles, but one under-the-radar addition, Malachi Coleman, exploded onto the scene. In Week One, he hauled in four catches for 76 yards and a touchdown—nearly matching his entire previous season’s output. Standing at 6’5” and 205 lbs, Coleman’s physicality and sudden breakout performance have him poised to become Wisconsin’s top deep threat in a wildly unpredictable receiving corps. Coach Luke Fickell admits he doesn’t fully understand what sparked Coleman’s turnaround, though running backs coach Jayden Everett played a key role in bringing him in. Fickell also acknowledged the gamble of building a team from transfers—it’s full of educated guesses, but Coleman might be the biggest surprise yet.
