Jake Coleman Brings Veteran Size and Interior Juice to St. Thomas' Front Seven
In the 2026 season, Jake Coleman is a 6-foot-2, 265-pound senior defensive lineman for St. Thomas whose profile screams sturdiness, leverage, and trench toughness. The Tommies list him as a seasoned veteran from Valley High in West Des Moines, which points to a player coaches can trust to hold the point and eat blocks rather than just chase highlights. He’s a fit for teams wanting a reliable interior presence with mature physicality and a no-nonsense edge.
