I don't think Prysock is going anywhere either, he needs to improve bigtime to be a true NFL caliber corner
Davis followed Fisch as well at Edge and played well now that he is finally healthy.
I think there are a few receivers Fisch brought over as well, one of which was slated to be second string but got hurt.
Every player he brought with him seems at least decent. No reason to think there will be a ton of roster turnover due to departing talent in the portal.
Coleman would be an idiot to stay. He has nothing to prove. If you're good enough to get a 2nd contract in the NFL, that's exactly why you leave early, especially at RB. 7th round picks make > $1,000,000. Coleman is not a 7th round pick.
The alternate path, staying, making between $100,000 and $999,999 in NIL (we have no idea his true value in NIL) - having 0 fucking expenses, and getting a degree (he is a good student).
Betting on yourself to get paid more on your first contract with a 2nd or 3rd round grade.
7th round draft picks fail to make rosters by being outplayed by UDFAs and vets.
Football injuries involve a lot of chance, but you're basically gambling that you will improve with age and not get injured. I think staying has more upside for a player of Coleman's caliber.
Is it? The real risk is getting hurt. The first two years for the last pick in the NFL draft is $1,843,198. The average if you make it 4 years is $1,037,849. Why stay? I know the numbers are going up, but nobody is giving him $1,000,000 to play school. The likelihood of him making it 4 years in the league goes down if he plays another at UW. If he's the 100th pick his 4 year average in the NFL would be nearly 1.5. Dude can always go back to school, it will be a heartwarming human interest story on MNF.
It's a very deep RB class this year (I have seen Coleman ranked around #16 for the 2025 class) and Coleman will probably make around $850k (give or take $100k) if he comes back. If he comes back and boosts his draft stock while being in a weaker draft class, he could go as high as the 2nd round.
Regarding injury, he could negotiate an insurance policy as part of his NIL comp or pay out of pocket.
It's a great choice he has and I wouldn't fault him either way.

Williams, Mohammed, Coleman followed Fish. We'll have to pay up but they ain't going anywhere besides the NFL. I will bet my soul.

Audric Harris.
Also don't think Boston will go pro. He will be back even though he'd be drafted. His elders set the example. He has a lot more to gain, I think.
I don't think Boston would go higher than 5th round or so. Might as well make NIL money and enjoy college, and play for a 2nd or 3rd round grade.
Also, this guy followed Fisch as well and was supposed to get playing time before a injury:

If Polk can be a high 2nd, Boston can easy.
Those receivers need to send Penix a cut, really.

That is the riskier move.
