Top SCY Times:
200 Freestyle: 1:41.64 500 Freestyle: 4:32.72 1650 Freestyle: 15:56.48Coffman hails from Frisco, Texas, where he attends Centennial High School and trains year-round with Texas Ford Aquatics. He’s a distance freestyle specialist, strong across the 200, 500, and 1650, with the mile representing his best event.
The 2024-25 season saw Coffman have a big breakthrough in all of his top events, as he dropped nearly three minutes in the mile, over 20 seconds in the 500 free, and just under seven and a half seconds in the 200 free. He started the season with lifetime bests of 1:49.31, 4:53.97, and 18:59.72, and by the end of March, owned times of 1:41.91, 4:33.61, and 16:10.70.
In February, he qualified for the University Interscholastic League (UIL) 5A State Championships for the first time, placing fourth in the 500 and 10th in the 200 with those PBs. His best time in the mile stems from a local club meet in December, the Pro-Am Classic.
Though it’s early into the 2025-26 season, Coffman is already on fire, having lowered of all his best times at Lakeside Aquatic Club’s Fall Classic earlier in the month. He sliced nearly 15 seconds off his best time in the 1650, clocking 15:56.48, and dropped a few tenths in both the 200 and 500, notching 1:41.64 and 4:32.72.
Drexel is led by head coach Nathan Lavery, who enters his sixth season at the helm of the program. Last season, the Dragons finished third out of six teams at the Coastal Athletic Association (CAA) Conference Championships.
The conference meet scores ‘A’ and ‘B’ finals, and it took times of 1:39.06 in the 200 free and 4:30.65 in the 500 free to score in 2025. The mile, swum as a time final, would have seen Coffman’s best time place him ninth, earning the team nine points. With a full season remaining to improve before he arrives on campus, he’s already positioned to make an immediate impact.
On the team’s 2024-25 depth chart, Coffman would have ranked second in the 1650, seventh in the 500, and 10th in the 200. The team’s top returning distance swimmer is Kaan Akdag, who posted 4:25.76 and 15:37.82 in the 500 and 1650 this past year. They will overlap for one season, giving Coffman a strong training partner.
Coffman joins Devin Rothman, a 50.6/1:52.5 backstroker from Cornwall-on-Hudson, New York, as the university’s only two publicized commits for the class of 2030.
