While a lot of things have changed for Jonah Coleman in just one year, some things haven’t changed all that much. While he’s no longer playing for the Arizona Wildcats, Coleman is still playing for Jedd Fisch. And while the talented running back isn’t plowing through Pac-12 defenses, he’s still managing to be a leader in his conference when it comes to rushing touchdowns.

Coleman has been thrilling for the Washington Huskies offense and Fisch has definitely needed the boost that his star running back has provided this season. The former Wildcat hasn’t just been racking up yards, he’s been a key scoring threat for UW this season.

Given how Washington Huskies quarterback Will Rogers has struggled at times and hasn’t exactly been the most consistent passer in the Big Ten throughout the year, having a talented running back to turn to is pretty important. 

And right now, Coleman’s nine touchdowns are good to have him in the top cluster of rushing threats in the conference.
