Keon Coleman recognized as one of the ACC Players of the Week

The Florida State Seminoles football team’s star wide receiver Keon Coleman received recognition in the weekly ACC release.

This time though, it was for his efforts on special teams.

Per the announcement from Charlotte, Coleman’s 107 punt return yards caught the eye of the conference for their play against the Syracuse Orange.

His 72-yarder was the longest non-TD punt return and 18th-longest overall in FSU history, per FSU Sports Info.

It was FSU’s longest punt return since D.J. Matthews’ 74-yarder at Miami in 2018.
