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.

Trying to remember the last QB we recruited with this kind of pure arm talent. The way the ball comes off his hand with just a flick of the wrist is crazy.

He said his dad is 6’3 and his mom is 5’11.
FYI for all the size queens on here.

He said Coleman is 6'1? I had less exaggeration of inches when I frequented AOL chat rooms in the late 90s

Saw him live in the State Championship against Heritage. He's 5'10 at best.

Regardless, kid is a BALLER. Has the potential to be a better and more polished DTR when he was at UCLA. By his final year in College (whenever that may be) he will be pushing for 50 Total TDs.

Quick, lets get him some HGH so he can be a 5 star.

Was that him throwing the INT? Not sure what he was thinking trying to force that

That it’s only 7on7 and the perfect time to try and see what he can and can’t get away with

I hate the idea of starting true freshman QB’s. They’re rarely good. Most guys need at least a year

My biggest concern with Coleman isn't his height and frame, though it's related. It's that he takes off too quickly when pressured in the pocket. That's something he really needs to work on. Fix that, and we have a special talent.
