Homesick? Nope. Stuck on bench? Nope. At UR, ex-Furman starting OT Tim Coleman found fit

The list of reasons for transfer, in any college sport, commonly begins with one of these two: to get more playing time, or to attend a school closer to home.

Neither applies to Tim Coleman, penciled in during spring ball as the University of Richmond’s left offensive tackle.

Coleman, who’s from Stone Mountain, Ga., made the move to UR from Furman, where he started all 11 games as a true freshman in 2016.

“First, I want to say thank you to Furman for my first year. It was an excellent year with them,” said Coleman, a 6-foot-4 285-pounder.
