Texas State transfer defensive lineman Tavian Coleman commits to Colorado

Texas State Bobcats transfer defensive lineman Tavian Coleman is taking his talents to Boulder, committing to join Deion Sanders at Colorado via the NCAA Transfer Portal, On3 has learned.

Coleman played high school football at Humble (Humble, TX), where he was a three-star prospect in the 2021 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

He entered the transfer portal on Dec. 26. Prior to joining the Buffaloes, On3 ranked him as the No. 494 available transfer, and the No. 33 overall defensive lineman in the portal.

Over the course of his three seasons of college football (one with Utah State, and the previous two with Texas State), Coleman has amassed 79 total tackles, 6.5 sacks and one forced fumble.

According to On3’s Pete Nakos, former TCU linebacker Kylan Salter has also signed with Colorado. After spending just two seasons in Fort Worth, Salter decided to enter the NCAA transfer portal and find a new home. He will be staying inside the Big 12 but heading a little further West to play for head coach Deion Sanders.

Three years of eligibility will remain for Salter after taking a redshirt as a true freshman. The linebacker finally saw time on the field during the 2024 season, appearing in seven games. Most of those were as a reserve though, potentially seeking more playing time with Colorado.

Salter recorded two tackles, one in each of the final two games of the year. One against Cincinnati in the regular season finale and then another in TCU’s bowl game against Louisiana.

Hopefully, some more production is on the way in a new uniform.

Salter played high school football at Cedar Hill (TX), where he was a three-star prospect. He was the No. 644 overall recruit in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
