Michigan has reportedly reached out to Keon Coleman

Keon Coleman is one of the hottest names in the transfer portal and it looks like Michigan is showing interest.

Who would have thought Keon Coleman would have been one of the hottest teams on the transfer market? Oh, that’s right, we all knew this was going to happen.

Just how in demand is the Michigan State transfer? Hayes Fawcett posted a graphic on Twitter on Friday night with all of the teams that have reached out to Coleman. In total, 59 programs have reached out to Coleman and one of them was rather surprising.

No, I’m not talking about Wright State (although that was surprising to see) but rather Michigan was the most surprising program that reached out to Coleman.

Former Michigan State WR Keon Coleman tells me he has heard from these 59 schools since entering the Transfer Portal ?

The 6’4 215 WR will have 2 years of eligibility remaining.

Obviously Michigan would have a Big Ten title-caliber team to offer Keon, but he also would have to join a program that he has been taught to hate over the past two years while also playing in an offense that is known more for running the ball than slinging it.

Sure, there were other surprising teams on the extensive list such as Iowa, Penn State, Nebraska, Indiana, Maryland, Purdue, and Illinois. Even Deion Sanders and Colorado have gotten in on the sweepstakes.

The number of teams that have reached out to Keon Coleman is actually mind-boggling, but Michigan definitely stands out. But he would immediately become the top receiver on the Wolverines’ roster next season and just what JJ McCarthy would need for another title run.

No Michigan State fan is surprised to see Keon’s interest span across the nation but it definitely hurts to see that the Wolverines are in pursuit.

Will he give Michigan and Jim Harbaugh a second look? Let’s hope not.

We’re about to see just how much Coleman truly hates Michigan during this transfer process. Let’s hope it’s an overwhelming amount.
