Notes:
Notes: Ran for 1,402 yards and 21 touchdowns in 2010, earning first-team all-district and first-team all-Tidewater honors. Coleman added 30 receptions for 485 yards and six touchdowns his junior season.
Rushed for 1,399 yards as a sophomore in 2009.
ESPN.com ranks Coleman as a 3-star prospect and the no. 23 running back in the country.
CC's Scouting Report: Coleman is the top playmaker in the state of Virginia, in my opinion. He has terrific speed, he catches the ball well out of the backfield, and he has underrated balance and lower body strength. In 186 touches as a junior, Coleman gained over 2,000 yards of total offense. I think his open field ability will translate well to the college level.
