UW running backs coach Scottie Graham has a unique way of describing his rusher.
The discussion centered around how big the University of Washington running backs had become for the coming college football season, with each ball carrier showing off bulging biceps and extra thick thighs.
"We like big dudes. we're in the Big Ten -- they call it big for a reason," Graham said. "You can't get arm-tackled. Big guys for me are important because a 2-yard run becomes a 4-yard run, if they've got good body lean and if they run though with some power. Big guys make a big difference. Jonah is short but he's big."
Ironically, the first game-opening assignment of his college career came during his freshman season in 2022 against the UW in Seattle, in a 49-39 loss to the Huskies. It was a Coleman performance that Graham is quick to tell graded out to 98 percent.Coleman rushed 14 times for 53 yards, which included a 3-yard touchdown run in the third quarter at Husky Stadium, a moment he hasn't forgotten.
Now he calls the place home, heading up an impressive group of running backs who also include sixth-year senior Cam Davis, freshmen Adam Mohammed and Jordan Washington, junior Sam Adams and senior Daniyel Ngata.
