Edge rusher quickly became Tennessee’s biggest area of concern after the first week of this two-week window involving the NCAA transfer portal.
Chaz Coleman helped ease that concern Saturday.
Coleman, a 6-foot-4, 240-pounder who was a freshman at Penn State this season, committed to and signed with the Volunteers. He is the biggest addition yet for Tennessee during this portal cycle, with On3.com ranking Coleman fifth nationally on a list headed by former Auburn receiver Cam Coleman and former Arizona State quarterback Sam Leavitt.
The Vols no longer have their top three edge rushers from this season, with Joshua Josephs out of eligibility and with Jordan Ross and Caleb Herring having entered the transfer portal.
In nine games with the Nittany Lions, Coleman had eight tackles, three tackles for loss, one sack, two fumble recoveries and a forced fumble. He is from Warren, Ohio, and was a four-star prospect in the 2025 signing cycle.
