Zach Coleman brings young, athletic depth to Montana State’s secondary
In the 2026 season, Zach Coleman enters Montana State as a freshman defensive back with a compact 5-foot-10, 170-pound frame and a background that suggests real burst: he was also a basketball player and sprinter at Bishop Dunne, where he earned second-team all-state honors among private schools and first-team all-district recognition. His high-school production—40 tackles, 2 interceptions, 11 passes broken up, and 2 sacks—points to a versatile, aggressive corner who can trigger fast and make plays in space. For a team, he looks like a developmental fit with upside, especially if you want speed, competitiveness, and special-teams juice. [1]
