More experience is joining the herd on the defensive line.

On Tuesday, former Texas State defensive lineman Tavian Coleman announced that he plans to transfer to Colorado and play his final season of college football for head coach Deion Sanders and the Buffaloes.

In two seasons at Texas State, the 6-foot-1, 300-pound Coleman started all 26 games for the Bobcats.

He helped them to an 8-5 record this season, including a victory against North Texas in the First Responder Bowl on Friday.

This season, Coleman had 26 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks and two forced fumbles. He had 27 tackles, 7.5 TFLs and 3.5 sacks in 2023.

Prior to Texas State, Coleman played one season at Utah State, starting four of the 13 games he played in 2022.

He had 26 tackles, 4.5 TFLs and one sack for the Aggies.

Coleman began his career with two seasons at Trinity Valley Community College, from 2020-21. He posted 92 tackles, 18 TFLs and 8.0 sacks in those two seasons.

Coleman is one of the many players around the country taking advantage of the NCAA granting an extra year of eligibility to players who would have exhausted their eligibility this year but spent at least one year in junior college.
