STM Take
The jump from #31 (tier 4) in 2024 to #3 (tier 1) in 2025 is the largest single-season STTM climb on the OT board, and the underlying data (pass-block win rate, pressures allowed) confirms it was real, not noise. At 26 with two seasons of starter snaps and the Daniels offense locked in, the 2026 trajectory is sustained tier 1-2 production unless something changes structurally.
Coleman came out of TCU as Washington's 3rd-round pick (67th overall) in 2024 after a senior season that earned him 2nd-team All-Big 12 honors. Washington drafted him as the long-term LT to protect rookie QB Jayden Daniels's blind side, and he started 16 games as a rookie with a tier 4 #31 finish. The Year 2 jump to tier 1 #3 in 2025 was one of the largest single-year improvements among any starting OT, and matched Daniels's continued offensive growth.
Strengths
- Single-season STTM jump from tier 4 (#31) to tier 1 (#3) is the largest among any starting OT in 2025. 2nd-team All-Big 12 honors at TCU plus 3rd-round draft slot established a real ceiling.
- TCU pass-protection scheme prepared him for NFL technique faster than most rookie LTs. Pairs well with Daniels's quick release.
Concerns
- Single tier 1 season is not yet a trend; the 2026 sustainability is the open question.
- Washington's offensive line as a whole remains a work in progress; if the interior collapses around him, his individual performance gets dragged down regardless.
What to watch: Whether Coleman sustains his 2025 pass-block win rate above 92% in 2026, the threshold that confirms the breakout was structural rather than schematic luck.
