Malachi Coleman has been taken off the Gophers football team’s active roster and is expected to enter the transfer portal, a source confirmed to the Pioneer Press on Monday.
The redshirt sophomore receiver had five catches for 83 yards across eight games in 2025, including a 52-yarder against Northwestern at Wrigley Field on Nov. 22. He played in one game in 2024 after transferring from Nebraska.
Coleman was a ballyhooed high school recruit coming out of Lincoln Neb., but has not made a significant impact at the college level. He had eight receptions for 139 yards in 11 games for the Cornhuskers in 2023.
A dozen players have been taken off the Gophers roster since the end of the regular season and 11 have announced plans to enter the portal. Backup kicker David Kemp joined the list of exits on Friday.
The site 247Sports first reported the Coleman news on Monday.
