Miami has its QB of the future. 2026 blue-chip QB Dereon Coleman of Jones High School (Orlando) announced that he will be a Cane.



The 6’1, 165 gunslinger is no stranger to competition, as he beat out Elite 11 senior QB Trever Jackson as a sophomore and outshining multiple highly-regarded quarterbacks at Miami’s recent camp.

Coleman completed 63% of his passes for 2,236 yards, 16 TDs and 6 INTs as a sophomore. He also added 4 TDs on the ground.

He is Miami’s third commitment of the ‘26 class, joining WR Malachi Toney and LB Jordan Campbell.

 

 

That!... is my qb! Lol

 

Reminds me of Cam in terms of pocket presence and release. He has a great online which helps with the fact he seems completely underrated by the pass rush. I like the Nickel signing but I think Coleman is at another level completely.

 

Looking forward to seeing how he has grown as a passer in person next week..

I'm looking forward to seeing his drop backs and footwork in the spring.

**** of a ******* throw.

I may have been wrong on this kid.

My hot take is that after we grab a transfer QB from the portal, both Emory and Anderson transfer out. I do not want to take another QB. If our starter goes down, I think we need to be prepared to play with Nickle or Coleman. A backup QB wouldn't get us to the playoffs anyway.

 

Baby Ward

 

Kid plays amazing. I hope it translates to the college level.
