Keon Coleman transfer rumors: 5 teams where former MSU receiver would shine
LSU could be a national title contender if they landed Keon Coleman
Brian Kelly and the LSU Tigers figure to have one of the best receivers in the country for the 2023 season already with Malik Nabers back for his junior season. Moreover, the offensive infrastructure of the Tigers has already been set with two great options at quarterback with returning starter Jayden Daniels and redshirt sophomore Garrett Nussmeier, who has flashed in his own right.
With the returning core on offense and a strong defense as well, LSU is a legitimate College Football Playoff contender this season, whether you want to admit it or not. But going out and landing a player of Keon Coleman’s stature and talent would be enough to put them a notch up, adding another lethal component to the offense that would make defenses cringe.
It might be a pipe dream, but Kelly has proven his ability to land big fish in the portal, and this one would serve all parties exactly how they need.
Keon Coleman could help jump star Matt Rhule’s rebuild at Nebraska
Matt Rhule undoubtedly has a tough task after inheriting the wreckage in Lincoln left behind by Scott Frost. Nebraska has been struggling immensely for years now, and Rhule comes in after a 4-8 season for the Huskers.
It’s been the start of rebuilding the culture and the program since he arrived, which we’ve seen take shapewith the arrivals of transfers like Jeff Sims and former Virginia wideout Billy Kemp IV. That being said, there is still work to be done and, if Nebraska wants to make it to a bowl game, they need something to really start setting them apart.
Keon Coleman could be that. Not only would he be the focal point of the offense and have opportunities to thrive individually, serving his purpose for transferring, but he would also set up this offense to be more dangerous, thus pushing the Rhule rebuild forward in Lincoln. That’s a win-win situation and, if Nebraska wants to make one last big splash for 2023, this would be a perfect cannonball to deliver it.
