Postgame and Allstate Unveil 2026 Good Hands Receivers Team Featuring Four of College Football's Standout Wide Receivers

SARASOTA, FL -  Postgame, a leading sports marketing agency specializing in NIL and college athlete influencer campaigns, has partnered with Allstate for the third consecutive year to announce the 2026 Allstate Good Hands Receivers Team. This year's roster features four of college football's standout wide receivers: Cam Coleman of the University of Texas, Jeremiah Smith of The Ohio State University, Nick Marsh of Indiana University, and Malachi Toney of the University of Miami.

Selected for both their outstanding performances on the football field and their commitment to making a difference off it, the four athletes embody the meaning behind Allstate's iconic Good Hands message. Through the campaign, Allstate and Postgame are highlighting a different side of college football's biggest playmakers, celebrating not only the catches they make on Saturdays but also the positive impact they create within their communities.

The 2026 campaign officially launched on November 2 with an Instagram Reel featuring ESPN college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit alongside content host Kayaune Ross, who teamed up to introduce this year's roster. The announcement kicked off a series of athlete-focused Instagram Reels, with Postgame facilitating athlete partnerships, campaign strategy, and social publishing throughout the initiative.

More Than Great Hands: What Is the Allstate Good Hands Receivers Team?

The Allstate Good Hands Receivers Team is an annual college football initiative recognizing four exceptional wide receivers who demonstrate that having good hands means more than making remarkable catches.

While each player has established himself as a difference-maker on the field, their commitment to supporting the next generation and giving back to their communities is equally important to their selection.

From hosting youth football camps to launching charitable initiatives, these athletes are using their growing platforms to create opportunities for others. Their involvement reflects the central message of the campaign: great receivers don't just have good hands on the field. They help keep their communities in good hands, too.

Now in its third year with Postgame, the campaign continues to bring together some of college football's most recognizable athletes to celebrate the intersection of athletic excellence, leadership, and community involvement.

Meet the 2026 Allstate Good Hands Receivers Team

Cam Coleman | University of Texas

Texas wide receiver Cam Coleman has quickly established himself as a dynamic offensive weapon for the Longhorns. After beginning his collegiate career at Auburn, Coleman arrived in Austin with a reputation for making explosive plays and delivering in critical moments.

Through eight games of the 2026 season, Coleman has recorded 409 receiving yards and seven touchdowns, averaging nearly 18 yards per reception. His big-play ability has made him a valuable target in the Texas passing attack, including a 110-yard performance against Oklahoma.

Beyond his success on the field, Coleman has demonstrated his commitment to the next generation through youth football camps, providing young athletes with opportunities to learn, develop their skills, and connect with a player competing at one of college football's highest levels.

His combination of athletic ability and community involvement makes him a fitting representative of the 2026 Good Hands Receivers Team.

Jeremiah Smith | The Ohio State University

One of the most recognizable names in college football, Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith makes history as the first athlete to be selected to the Allstate Good Hands Receivers Team in back-to-back years.

After earning a spot on the 2025 roster, Smith returns in 2026, further establishing himself as an example of the excellence and community leadership the initiative seeks to recognize.

Smith's on-field accomplishments continue to speak for themselves. Through eight games in 2026, the Buckeyes' star receiver has recorded 62 receptions for 1,067 yards and 13 touchdowns, placing him among the nation's leading receivers.

His impact extends beyond Ohio Stadium. Through youth football camps and opportunities to connect with aspiring athletes, Smith has used his platform to give back and inspire the next generation of football players.

His historic second selection underscores the consistency of his contributions both on and off the field, making him a particularly meaningful member of this year's team.

Nick Marsh | Indiana University

Indiana wide receiver Nick Marsh has emerged as a key playmaker for the Hoosiers during the 2026 season, bringing explosive receiving ability and valuable experience to the team's offense.

After beginning his collegiate career at Michigan State, Marsh joined Indiana and continued to build on his reputation as a dangerous downfield target. Through nine games this season, he has totaled 38 receptions for 669 yards and eight touchdowns, highlighted by a standout performance against Nebraska in which he recorded 187 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

Off the field, Marsh has also made an effort to connect with young athletes through youth football camps, using his experience and visibility as a college football player to encourage the next generation.

His selection recognizes both the impact he has made on Indiana's offense and his willingness to use his platform to make a positive difference beyond the game.

Malachi Toney | University of Miami

University of Miami wide receiver Malachi Toney has established himself as one of college football's most productive offensive players, delivering impressive performances for the Hurricanes while making community involvement a personal priority.

Through eight games of the 2026 season, Toney has recorded 73 receptions for 1,027 yards and 13 touchdowns, ranking among the nation's leaders in multiple receiving categories.

But Toney's contributions off the field are an equally important part of his story.

In addition to hosting youth football camps, Toney has taken his commitment to giving back a step further by establishing his own foundation dedicated to helping less fortunate individuals in his community.

Rather than limiting his influence to his accomplishments as an athlete, Toney has created an additional avenue to support those in need and make a meaningful impact.

His charitable efforts exemplify the purpose of the Good Hands Receivers Team, demonstrating how college athletes can use their platforms to create positive change in the communities around them.

Bringing the Good Hands Receivers Team to Life With Postgame

For the third consecutive year, Allstate has partnered with Postgame to facilitate the Good Hands Receivers Team, leveraging the agency's expertise in college athlete marketing to identify and connect with players who embody the brand's values both on and off the field.

Postgame plays an integral role throughout the campaign, working alongside Allstate to identify prospective athletes whose on-field accomplishments and community involvement align with the initiative. While Allstate makes the final roster selections, Postgame helps guide the athlete selection process, manages direct communication with the players, and oversees campaign strategy and social publishing.

The 2026 campaign kicked off with an Instagram Reel featuring ESPN college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit alongside content host Kayaune Ross, who teamed up to officially introduce this year's four Good Hands Receivers Team members.

Following the initial announcement, the campaign shifts its focus to the individual athletes, with Ross hosting a series of interview-style Instagram Reels filmed on each player's home football field. Each receiver participates in two collaborative Reels, giving fans an opportunity to get to know the personalities behind some of college football's most exciting playmakers.

Through a series of lighthearted questions and conversations, the content showcases the athletes in a more personal setting, allowing fans to see a different side of the players they typically watch competing on Saturdays.

With a coordinated social media rollout featuring four athletes from prominent college football programs, Postgame helps Allstate bring its iconic Good Hands message to life while connecting with passionate college football audiences across Instagram.

Three Years of Recognizing Good Hands On and Off the Field

Since beginning its partnership with Allstate in 2024, Postgame has helped facilitate three consecutive Good Hands Receivers Team campaigns, each featuring four college football wide receivers selected for their performance and commitment to giving back.

The continued collaboration highlights the role that NIL marketing can play in telling more meaningful athlete stories. Rather than focusing exclusively on statistics, highlights, or traditional product promotion, the Good Hands Receivers Team creates an opportunity to recognize the character and community contributions of athletes competing at the highest levels of college football.

"These guys are making incredible plays every Saturday, but what makes the Good Hands Receivers Team special is recognizing what they're doing when they step off the field," said Aaron Hackett, Director of Athlete Relations at Postgame.

"They're using their platforms to give back, create opportunities for younger athletes, and make a real difference in their communities. We're proud to work alongside Allstate to recognize players who are keeping their communities in good hands."

With another group of standout athletes representing the initiative in 2026, Postgame and Allstate continue to showcase how the influence of college football players extends well beyond the final whistle.
