TREY COLEMAN

2017 University of Tennessee football recruit

Basics: 5-11, 203, RB

School: West Monroe (West Monroe, La.)

Key stat: 6 times reaching at least 100 yards rushing in 2016

Also considered: Arkansas, Mississippi State, Iowa State.

Impact: Coleman’s hard-nosed, tackle-breaking style could lead to early playing time after departures at running back. He thrives on being discounted and overlooked. UT was the first Power 5 program to give him an offer. His toughness makes up for any speed deficits.
