Coleman went on to compete in track and field in college, where he was a NJCAA All-American in the 400m. After an injury in 2017, he returned home to Maryland and subsequently he picked up flag football.

Coleman was named to his U.S. national team in 2025 with the versatility to play multiple positions, including quarterback, and played primarily as a defensive back as the U.S. secured its sixth consecutive world title at the 2026 IFAF World Championships.
