Coley played in all 13 games in his final season, starting in 10 games. With a stat line of 63 receptions, 754 receiving yards, 9 touchdowns, and a yards per catch average of 11.97, Coley had his best season as a Hurricane. He remained the deep vertical threat used to stretch defensive coverages, but also became more of an intermediate option to pick up first downs. In the Hurricanes week 5 matchup against Florida State, Coley was on the receiving end on both of quarterback Brad Kaaya's touchdown passes and piled up 80 yards on seven catches. His second score brought the Hurricanes to within one point with 1:38 on the clock, but kicker Michael Badgley had his extra point blocked, ending the game 20–19 in favor of the Seminoles. [7]
