Colorado State’s 6-foot-8 transfer tackle brings size, experience, and edge
Toriyan Johnson is a massive 6-foot-8, 330-pound offensive tackle who transferred from UConn to Colorado State for the 2026 season, bringing experience from 13 games in 2025 and immediate competition for a starting role[6][10][11]. The Rams have clearly targeted him as part of a portal-built offensive line, and coaches’ coverage has highlighted his grit, accountability, and willingness to get corrected hard in practice—good signs for a lineman expected to set a physical tone[7][10]. He looks like the kind of high-upside, plug-in depth piece who can fit a run-first or protection-heavy scheme and help stabilize the edge.
