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.

Yea I don’t think Coleman ends up signing here he’s tiny we will recruit over him in the summer

Thankfully this is college and not the NFL. Shorter QBs can thrive. I don't care what his measurables mean for the NFL. I only care on whether or not this kid can help us win.

I disagree I think we should be recruiting at a higher level at the qb position in high school. He’s physically small just don’t see him fitting the Mario qb prototype

Anyone making a big deal out of this kids height is crazy. There have been so many great 5’10” - 6’ college QBs and this kids abilities are off the charts in comparison to many of those. Sure if he hits a growth spurt that’d be great but this kid is a certified baller either way.

He is about 5’11 never said he was 200 pounds and upgrade what? The talent isn’t a problem. Kid has a big arm, is accurate and is athletic. You stuck in the past. This is college not the nfl his height won’t be a problem
