I went from being a 5’4 100 pound high school freshman told I could never play college ball...to breaking 5 school records my senior year-becoming the first player in school history to be featured in the Chicago Sun-Times. Still, I was told wasn’t good enough play at a high level.
I walked on at 17 years old-JUCO, betting on myself, redshirted & earned a scholarship by spring. The next year… I fractured my collarbone, lost my season, every coach recruiting me, & dealt with a death close to me that hurt me bad. Was at the lowest point of my life, transferred JUCOs, then lost the staff that recruited me & eventually I had nowhere to play.
I went home & started working security, I still trained every day after work like I had a season.I kept my head down-stayed ready. Praying to God & got an opportunity to play in game. Don’t ever allow someone to limit your goals..
I never quit. Because I Truly love this game more than life itself.
I’m Grateful for every coach I met throughout my college journey & I’m thankful for my family & friends who supported me.❤️
With that being said, I’m proud to say 1000% committed to…
Chicago State University🟢⚪️🐾
I’m Home, Lets make history!!!

Chicago State head coach Bobby Rome is excited to showcase what has been brewing since he was hired sixteen months ago. The Cougars are set to become Chicago’s first Division I football program since 1939.
More from our sports intern @brianna_hill5 on how Rome is building a DI program: tinyurl.com/2zbfwjjy

HE RESURRECTED
HE ASCENDED
HE WILL BE BACK
HIS NAME IS JESUS.

The hardest walks lead to the GREATEST destinations.
It will be worth it in the end.
Speak that into your mind.

Von Steuben grad Kaymen Coleman persevered through four previous college stops, two broken collarbones and time away from the game working security at a big-box store.
In August he will play DI football at Chicago State. @mikeclarkpreps has the story:

Please stop telling young people what they can't do rather show them how to grind so they can go around, above, or underneath the obstacles to reach their goals
