Malachi Coleman brings length, speed, and defensive disruption to NMHU’s backcourt
Coleman profiles as a useful, defense-minded guard who already showed he can impact winning at the Division II level: in 2024-25 at New Mexico Highlands, he played 30 games, averaged 19.6 minutes, and produced 5.2 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 33 steals while shooting 43.4% from the field and 35.1% from three. His differentiator is activity—he pressures the ball, creates turnovers, and can chip in scoring without needing high usage. That makes him a good fit for a team needing energy, versatility, and a reliable two-way role player rather than a pure volume scorer.[2]
