LSU Target, Louisiana Native Keon Coleman Reveals Transfer Destination

Coleman will face his hometown squad in 2023.

Former Michigan State wide receiver, and Louisiana native, Keon Coleman has revealed his transfer destination. Coleman will take his talents to Tallahassee, Fla. and join the Florida State Seminoles.

Coleman, who had interest from the Tigers upon entering the portal, will now face his hometown team Week 1 in Orlando, Fla. in the season opener. The Michigan State standout had a number of potential suitors, but ultimately chose Florida State over Ole Miss when it was all said and done.

The decision to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal came as a surprise to many. The electrifying wideout was set to be the Spartans WR1 this season, but electing to take his talents elsewhere, he entered the portal with over 50 programs reaching out.

A Louisiana native, the Tigers made an initial push for the elite athlete, but ultimately a search for WR1 duties and immediate playing time had him look elsewhere.

After a productive 2022 season with the Sparty’s, Coleman has seen his game takeoff ahead of this season. Coleman led the Spartans in receptions (58), receiving yards (798) and receiving touchdowns (7) in 2022.

The 6-foot-4 wide receiver has multiple years of eligibility remaining, which made him that much more of an intriguing portal target for multiple programs. Schools have expressed how important it is to reel in guys who can make an impact for the long haul, and for Coleman, he fit the criteria like a glove.

Now, LSU will game plan for the standout wide receiver as they prepare for their Week 1 matchup against the Florida State Seminoles on Sept. 3 in Orlando, Fla.
