Updated at 3:20 p.m. ET on April 30, 2023: A program spokesman has confirmed the report below; Keon Coleman is in the transfer portal.
Two major developments have taken place Sunday, capping a busy weekend of Michigan State football news. Michigan State football quarterback Payton Thorne and wide receiver Keon Coleman have entered the transfer portal, according to a report from Justin Thind of 247Sports.
Interestingly, Thind also reported that Coleman had made this decision last week, but the transfer of Thorne might be a big step toward keeping Coleman in East Lansing, which is pretty thought-provoking, considering you’d assume Coleman would prefer to play with Thorne, who he’s played with his whole career at MSU.
This will definitely be a major story to follow in the coming weeks.
I’m hearing that #MichiganState WR Keon Coleman will enter the transfer portal.
Programs had made overtures at Coleman the last 3 cycles, but MSU squashed those attempts each time – until now.
