08/10/22 - OLB Seth Coleman, rSr/2025, Illinois

Seth Coleman has waited his turn. When he arrived at Illinois as a true freshman in 2019, he had multiple defensive ends ahead of him on the depth chart from Lovie Smith mainstays Owen Carney Jr. and Isaiah Gay to USC transfer Oluwole Betiku Jr. and surprise breakout performer Ayo Shogbonyo. The depth chart calculus didn't really change in 2020, either. Carney and Gay had the starting defensive spots on lock, and that was essentially the same in 2021 when that duo used their bonus year of eligibility as outside linebackers in new defensive coordinator Ryan Walters' system. Now Coleman is "the guy." The 6-foot-5, 240-pound outside linebacker is in line for a major starting role after an injury last fall disrupted what was a breakout in the making after taking Gay's starting spot.

Two missed games from Coleman was enough to let Gay reclaim his primary role. Now Gay is gone, so is Carney, and Illinois is turning to Coleman to be a playmaker on the edge. "He's got no choice but to be the guy," Walters said. "He's taken ownership over that role, and that's what we need from him...He's acting that way. He's transformed his body from a year ago. Again, I can't speak highly enough of (strength and conditioning coach Tank Wright) and his crew and what they were able to do during that eight weeks over the summer. I think that's given him confidence. He's prepared, and preparation breeds confidence." - News Gazette Tribune
