‘26 QB Dereon Coleman commits to Miami

Jul 3, 2024 1 min read

Miami has its QB of the future. 2026 blue-chip QB Dereon Coleman of Jones High School (Orlando) announced that he will be a Cane.

The 6’1, 165 gunslinger is no stranger to competition, as he beat out Elite 11 senior QB Trever Jackson as a sophomore and outshining multiple highly-regarded quarterbacks at Miami’s recent camp.

Coleman completed 63% of his passes for 2,236 yards, 16 TDs and 6 INTs as a sophomore. He also added 4 TDs on the ground.

He is Miami’s third commitment of the ‘26 class, joining WR Malachi Toney and LB Jordan Campbell.

This is actually a good idea. Very common in pro soccer, they send youngsters out on “loan” to mid-level clubs so they can see the field.

I don’t really have an understanding of how that would work legally. But my gut says that if a kid agrees to terms with a collective -which is technically not affiliated with a school - you could pull it off.

There are DII and lower level DI programs that are recrutiing and selling the opportunity to come and play right away, which in turn would allow them to increase their NIL value and transfer. It’s a smart sell even if you only have the player for 2-3 years.

Looks like he grew an inch or two when he stood tall... I see the cam ward comparison someone said earlier how he operates in and out of the pocket real smooth.
