Top Transfer Edge Rusher Chaz Coleman Commits to Tennessee

Familiarity with defensive coordinator Jim Knowles drove the decision.

Overview

  • Coleman, a Penn State transfer, announced his commitment to the Volunteers on Saturday.
  • He is ranked the No. 1 edge rusher and a consensus top-three overall player in the transfer portal.
  • He chose Tennessee over multiple power programs, including Ohio State, which hosted him for a visit.
  • The rising sophomore cited fit and his relationship with Jim Knowles as key reasons for his choice.
  • His addition helps address Tennessee’s edge need after Jordan Ross left for LSU, and Penn State’s Matt Campbell had sought to retain him.
