A two-year starter at "field" cornerback for the Razorbacks, Coe left the program before the 2006 season to spend his final collegiate season playing for his father, Charles, the head coach at Alabama State. His experience and leadership in the Hornets' secondary helped ease the burden of a defensive unit that lost several key members to graduation from the previous year.

Coe also proved to be a versatile performer, beginning the 2006 season as a free safety before shifting to left cornerback. He also served as the team's primary punt returner, ranking fifth in the Southwestern Athletic Conference in that category.

The speedster was a first-team All-State, All-Memphis and All-Conference selection as a senior at Cordova High School, where he excelled in football and track. He finished with more than 1,400 yards receiving in his final year. As a junior, Coe caught 20 passes for 675 yards and four touchdowns. He also recorded 25 tackles, five interceptions and 10 pass break-ups in his junior season. He boasted a 34-inch vertical jump and competed in the long jump in track.

Coe chose Arkansas over offers from Illinois, Cincinnati and Iowa. He redshirted in 2002 and saw action mostly on special teams in 2003, posting five solo tackles and a pass deflection. He won the starting "field" cornerback job in 2004, but was sidelined after six games for several contests due to a thigh bruise that would limit him to reserve duty upon his return to action. He finished the season with 24 tackles (17 solos), two interceptions and four pass break-ups.

In 2005, Coe started the first eight games at "field" cornerback before being replaced by Chris Houston in the lineup. He totaled 30 tackles (24 solos) with a forced fumble and a blocked kick. He picked off three passes, batted down seven others and averaged 7.9 yards on eight punt returns.

In June, 2006, Coe transferred from Arkansas and enrolled at Alabama State. He earned All-Southwestern Athletic Conference honors while starting all 11 games, lining up at free safety during the first four contests. He went on to total 42 tackles (31 solos) with 1½ sacks and four stops for losses. He deflected 14 passes and intercepted two others while also recovering a fumble. He returned 21 punts for an 8.1-yard average.

Positives: Has adequate overall muscle tone and body definition, well-proportioned arms, thighs and calves, a bit high-cut, but with room on his frame for additional bulk growth without having it impact his quickness … Has good agility, balance and body control in his running stride, with better straight-line speed than lateral range … Shows decent alertness eyeing the pocket and has the short-area quickness to shadow and trail … Shows good ability to time his leaps and deflect the pass and catches outside his framework well … Best in off coverage (not physical in bump) where he shows good recovery agility when beaten … Showed better control and flexibility in his backpedal as a senior, but is prone to taking a false step out of his breaks … Finds and flows to the ball with adequate ease-of-movement agility … Shows better field vision playing in the zone, keeping the plays in front of him while demonstrating quickness breaking on the ball in deep passing situations … Alert tackler who takes good ankles and positions himself properly to square up and make the tackle vs. outside runners … Will jump and extend for the ball in traffic, displaying the timing needed to disrupt the pass … Shows better route awareness and does not allow much cushion in zone coverage, making him a possible better free safety candidate than as a cornerback … Efficient special teams coverage defender who can also return punts … Has the functional strength to put some pop behind his tackles … Displays good hands for the interception, properly extending his arms to catch away from the framework … Has a knack for timing the pass, consistently getting his hands up in the receiver's face and shows efficient zone awareness in the two-and-three deep coverage and combo routes … Functional space tackler with adequate body control in the open field.

Negatives: Little stiff at times coming out of his backpedal (high and erect with adequate plant-and-drive agility … Even though he has good sustained speed, he lacks that second gear to display agility in transition to close on the ball (will false step out of the break) … Tends to allow a big cushion underneath in man coverage and will get turned trying to close the gap, where the tightness in his hips are then exposed … Showed improvement in 2006 against lesser competition, but while at Arkansas he took inconsistent angles at times when attempting to tackle, causing him to lose containment … Adequate tackler, but certainly not a "killer" type, as he tends to play on the fringe some … Plays tall at the X's and will freeze some against misdirection and pump fakes … Shows good acceleration, but is not a quick twitch-type, lacking suddenness.

Compares To: Cory Webster, New York Giants -- Like Webster, press coverage might not suit Coe well. He has good ball skills and takes decent angles at times, but despite his speed he is not a quick twitch-type. He has some value as an emergency punt returner, but did have fumbling issues there in the past. Some experts say Coe can handle press coverage, but he is not as active shooting his hands as one would like. With his functional route awareness and ability to keep plays in front of him, Coe might bring better value as a free safety. The talent is certainly there, but he failed to impress against top-level competition at Arkansas and only one of the receivers he faced in 2006 (Henry Tolbert -- Grambling, who missed most of the game with an injury) is considered even a camp prospect at the next level, making it hard to judge his senior performance against such inferior competition.

2004: Suffered a thigh bruise vs. Auburn (Oct. 16) that forced him to miss the next two games vs. Georgia and South Carolina … Returned vs. Mississippi, but then sat out the following week vs. Mississippi State (Nov. 20) to let the injury further heal.
