Henry Coleman III, embarking on his final senior season with the Texas A&M Basketball program, isn’t just known for his exceptional play on the court. Still, his leadership outside the game has already made him one of the most respected student-athletes on campus and in the country.
With a potential future in politics, something Coleman III pondered on occasion, and it was announced that he would unsurprisingly represent the Aggies as one of four South Eastern Conference representatives during the SEC Spring Meetings, starting on Tuesday, May 30. Coleman III will join Kentucky’s Eli Cox (Football), Missouri’s Jude Dierker (Men’s Swimming & Diving), and Tennessee’s Tamari Key (Women’s Basketball).
In a release from Texas A&M Athletics, Henry Coleman III’s selection was a no-brainer if we’re basing it on his resume alone.
Coleman III, a senior from Richmond, Va., is deeply involved in a variety of off-the-court endeavors. Recently, Coleman III was announced as serving in a leadership role for the student-athlete-led initiative – F.A.C.E. Mental Health. The mission of F.A.C.E. (Fostering Athletes’ Continued Excellence) Mental Health is to generate awareness, develop a sense of community, provide education, and advocate for the variety of mental health concerns and challenges student-athletes experience. Additionally, Coleman III represents Texas A&M as the chair of the SEC Basketball Leadership Council. The council serves as a conduit of communication from student-athletes to the conference office on issues related to student-athlete experience.
Coleman III will serve as the SEC Men’s Basketball Leadership Council Chair, and there’s no doubt that he’ll provide the necessary input while fairly representing every student-athlete in the conference. Congratulations, Henry! Gig ‘Em,
