Carlos Coronado is a size-and-playmaking guard still carving out his role at NIU
In the 2025-26 season, Coronado has flashed efficient shooting in limited minutes for Northern Illinois, and NIU lists him as a 6'3" freshman guard who arrived after prep stops at Supreme Academy, PHH Prep, and Coolidge High. His calling card is two-way versatility: high-school production showed real passing and disruptive defense, while NIU’s roster notes back that up with 2022-23 averages of 10.5 points, 5.0 assists and 2.7 steals per game. He looks like a fit for teams needing a poised, energetic backcourt connector rather than a high-usage scorer.[1][13]
