Washington star RB Jonah Coleman declares for NFL Draft

The Washington Huskies quietly put together a strong 2025 season. While Indiana’s resurgence, led by Heisman winner Fernando Mendoza, stole headlines in the Big Ten, the Huskies accumulated a 9-4 record. The Huskies turned that success into a dominant 38-10 win vs. the Boise State Broncos in the LA Bowl. A big reason for Washington’s winning ways is running back Jonah Coleman. Unfortunately for the Huskies, the senior will not be returning in 2026 as he eyes the next step in his football career.

On Monday, Coleman took to social media to announce that he is declaring for the 2026 NFL Draft. 

“Since I picked up a football, I’ve always had a dream I was chasing,” Coleman said in an excerpt from his post on X. “Above all, I want to thank God for His guidance and blessings. He put me in a position I prayed for and worked relentlessly toward, and with that being said, I’m blessed to announce I will be declaring the 2026 NFL Draft.”
