The Florida State Seminoles have advanced to a 6-0 record with an emphatic win over Syracuse, and the player of the game was easily Keon Coleman, who had one electrifying play after another. 

The big plays started early for Coleman, who snagged an incredible one-handed catch for a 27-yard gain.

This play in particular caught the eye of legendary wide receiver Dez Bryant, who posted "OMG!!!" on social media in reaction to the highlight. 

This is just further proof of how good and impactful Coleman has been to this Florida State squad, as he picks up more and more social media hype on a weekly basis. Though this is the play that caught the attention of Bryant, he had plenty more huge plays.

Coleman, later in the game, reeled in a 58-yard touchdown pass where he torched Syracuse's secondary, but still, it didn't stop there. He also put together two electric returns, one that went for 72-yards and nearly a touchdown. 

On the game, Coleman finished with 140 receiving yards on nine receptions while bringing in the one touchdown. He added 107 punt-return yards while returning six of those. 

Even without Johnny Wilson on the field, which allowed Coleman less defensive attention, Coleman still racked up incredible numbers and got essentially whatever he wanted all game. While garnering more and more national attention, Coleman continually climbs the NFL mock drafts for the upcoming draft, now being understood to be a future first-round pick.

With the plethora of weapons Jordan Travis has in this offense, including Coleman, the Seminoles are gearing up for an ACC Championship and College Football Playoff hopeful season. 

Coleman is up to seven touchdowns in six games on the season, with help from other incredible performances against LSU and Clemson, while dominating once against in Week 7 of college football.
