Jeremiah Coleman brings freshman upside to Southern’s linebacker room
Jeremiah Coleman enters the 2026 Southern University roster as a 6-foot, 200-pound redshirt freshman linebacker from Baton Rouge, giving the Jaguars a young, local defender with room to grow[1][5]. In his 2025 freshman season, he saw limited game action and recorded 1 tackle, so his value is more about development, special-teams readiness, and upside than proven production right now[2]. He looks like a fit for a team that wants speed, growth potential, and a hard-nosed in-state player who can be coached into a bigger role[1][5].
