This should have been the moment Penn State fans knew Chaz Coleman was leaving

New Penn State head coach Matt Campbell did what he could to retain superstar true freshman edge rusher Chaz Coleman, but those efforts were ultimately in vain as the 2025 four-star recruit announced his intention to enter the transfer portal on Thursday. Coleman finished the 2025 season with just one sack, but recorded 15 quarterback pressures as he burned his redshirt across nine appearances.

Coleman was one of the few bright spots in Penn State’s disastrous 6-6 season that saw James Franklin get fired. Now, he’s a candidate to follow Franklin to Virginia Tech, but more than likely, the Warren, Ohio native will be heading to Columbus.
