Coleman began his college career at Jackson State, finding some success as a true freshman on his way to 475 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
Coleman transferred up to Louisville for his sophomore season, where he was relegated to a part-time role, running just 222 total routes. He finished that season third on the team in receptions and receiving yards, behind Jamari Thrash and Chris Bell.
Following the 2023 season, Coleman transferred again to Mississippi State, where he posted the best numbers of his career. He was a focal point in the Bulldogs’ offense, nearly hitting 1,000 receiving yards and finding the endzone six times.
If you’ve caught on at this point, you probably guessed right. Coleman transferred for a THIRD time, closing out his senior year at Missouri. His numbers took a dip in his final season, posting 66 receptions for 732 yards and just one touchdown.
As a whole, Coleman finished his career with 1.98 yards per route run (YPRR) and a 21.3% target rate, both fairly pedestrian numbers for an NFL-caliber prospect. He’s purely a slot receiver, running 92% of his routes in the slot in college.

McAlister attended Azle High School in Azle, Texas, where he caught for 2,947 yards and 43 touchdowns in his final two seasons. He was rated as a three-star recruit and committed to play college football for the Boise State Broncos over offers from schools such as Nebraska, San Diego State, Utah, Virginia Tech, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
Boise State
In week 10 of the 2022 season, McAlister hauled in two receptions for 33 yards and his first career touchdown versus BYU.He finished the 2022 season with 11 receptions for 259 yards and four touchdowns. In week 10 of the 2023 season, McAlister notched eight receptions for 85 yards in a 37–30 loss to Fresno State. He finished the 2023 season with 47 receptions for 873 yards and five touchdowns for the Broncos. Late in the 2023 season, with three games remaining, he stepped away from the team and entered his name into the NCAA transfer portal.
TCU
McAlister transferred to play for the TCU Horned Frogs in 2024, where he had two productive seasons. McAlister combined for 111 receptions, nearly 2,000 receiving yards, and 15 touchdowns. His final season was most impressive, with 1,190 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns.
Some Red Flags
TCU wide receiver Eric McAlister was arrested on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
He was also charged with a second count of terroristic threat, causing fear of imminent serious bodily injury, which is a misdemeanor. According to his indictment, he was accused of threatening a man with a gun.

2026 NFL Draft Coverage: Tanner Koziol
Koziol began his career at Ball State in 2022, where he was an immediate producer, posting 35 receptions for 379 yards and seven touchdowns as a freshman. After a small regression in his sophomore year, Koziol broke out in Year 3, finishing with 94 receptions for 840 yards and eight touchdowns.
Following his big junior year, Koziol made the jump to the Power 4, transferring to Houston for his final season. He continued finding success against tougher competition, proving to be one of Conner Weigman’s most reliable targets in 2025. He closed out his senior year with 74 receptions for 727 yards and six touchdowns. He led all FBS tight ends in both targets (94) and receptions in 2025.
Koziol’s efficiency over his final two seasons indicates he should be a very fantasy-friendly player if he manages to see the NFL field consistently. He averaged 2.12 yards per route run (YPRR) and a 29.4% target rate, both excellent marks for a tight end.

2026 NFL Draft Coverage: Cole Payton
Cole Payton took a big step forward in 2025 when he finally got the keys to the offense full-time.
He finished the season completing 71.9% of his passes for 2,719 yards, with a 16-to-4 touchdown-to-interception ratio. On top of that, he averaged 12.1 yards per attempt, which tells you he wasn’t just taking easy throws. He was pushing the ball downfield.
What really adds to his profile is what he can do with his legs. He added 777 rushing yards, which shows he’s not just mobile; he’s a real part of the run game.
This was a big jump for him, especially after being used more in a limited role earlier in his career. In 2025, he showed he can handle being the guy.
FILM
When you’re scouting a quarterback, it’s not about what happened. It’s about why it happened. And with Cole Payton, the traits are what stand out.

2026 NFL Draft Coverage: Emmett Johnson
Emmett Johnson was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs, becoming the 6th running back and 161st overall player in the 2026 NFL Draft.
COLLEGE PRODUCTION
Emmett Johnson took over the Nebraska backfield in 2025 and didn’t look back. He handled a big workload and produced at a high level, finishing with 1,451 rushing yards on 251 carries (5.8 YPC) and 15 touchdowns.
What really stands out is how much he improved over time. His efficiency got better every year, and by his final season, he was clearly the engine of that offense.
He also brought real value in the passing game with 46 catches for 370 yards, and his 15.9% target share shows he wasn’t just a checkdown option. He was a legit part of the offense.
He may not have the typical “bell-cow” size, but the production and usage say this is a player who can handle volume and make an impact in multiple ways.

2026 NFL Draft Coverage: Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg signed with the Dallas Cowboys as an undrafted free agent (UDFA) following the 2026 NFL Draft.
COLLEGE PRODUCTION
Michael Trigg was a big part of the Baylor offense in 2025 and produced like one of the top tight ends in the country.
He finished with 50 catches for 694 yards and 6 touchdowns, which had him near the top of the position in multiple categories. What stands out is how he was used. This wasn’t just short routes and dump-offs.
Trigg’s 13.9 yards per reception highlights his role as a consistent downfield threat, showing he isn’t just a short-yardage safety valve but a player capable of picking up significant chunks of yardage on every catch. On top of that, he forced 17 missed tackles, which tells you he can do something with the ball after the catch.

2026 NFL Draft Coverage: Kaytron Allen
Kaytron Allen was drafted by the Washington Commanders, becoming the ninth running back and 187th overall player selected in the 2026 NFL Draft.
COLLEGE PRODUCTION
Despite having to deal with Nicholas Singleton in the same backfield, Kaytron Allen stayed four seasons at Penn State. Not only that, but he thrived, eventually taking over the lion’s share of the work. After productive freshman and sophomore campaigns, Allen really exploded over his final two seasons, rushing for 2,411 yards and 23 touchdowns in that span.
What’s impressive about Allen is that he increased his rushing yardage in each season. In doing that, he leaves as the program’s all-time leading rusher. Pretty extraordinary when you think about all the excellent backs that went to school there. Through the air, Allen isn’t agile enough to pick up large chunks, but he does have decent hands for a larger back and reeled in 70 receptions for 490 yards during his collegiate career.

2026 NFL Draft Coverage: Seth McGowan
eth McGowan was drafted by the Indianapolis Colts, becoming the 12th running back and 237th overall player in the 2026 NFL Draft.
COLLEGE PRODUCTION
Seth McGowan stepped into a lead role at Kentucky in 2025 and handled it like a true workhorse.
He finished with 725 rushing yards on 165 carries (4.4 YPC) and 12 touchdowns, showing he could carry the load and still be a scoring threat.
The yards per carry dipped a bit compared to what you might want to see, but context matters. He was doing it in the SEC against better competition and still found the end zone consistently.
He also brought something in the passing game with a 7.7% target share, which shows he wasn’t just a two-down back. He was part of the offense in multiple ways.

Bryce Lance was drafted by the New Orleans Saints, becoming the 19th wide receiver and 136th overall player in the 2026 NFL Draft.
COLLEGE PRODUCTION
Bryce Lance did not come into college as a guy everyone was talking about right away, but once he got his chance, he made it count.
After barely seeing the field early in his career, Lance put together back-to-back strong seasons at North Dakota State. In 2024, he posted 75 catches for 1,071 yards and 17 touchdowns. Then in 2025, he followed that up with 51 catches for 1,079 yards and 8 touchdowns, while averaging a big-time 21.2 yards per catch.
