It's no secret that Mack Brown has a very strict set of criteria for any out-of-state recruits. Foremost among them is the potential recruit being pro-active about their interest, generally demonstrated by attending summer football camps. Lake Oswego's Tyson Coleman is just such an OOS player ($) -- he camped in Austin last summer and plans to make it down again from his home state of Oregon, expressing excitement about learning more from the Texas coaching staff.
A 6-2, 200-pounder blessed with a rare combination of size and speed, Coleman looks like the real deal, an excellent running back who may project as a safety at Texas because of the incredible in-state depth at the position in 2011. However, if the Longhorns choose to offer a large back and a smaller back, Coleman may get an offer as a running back, though that may depend somewhat on the level of interest from Malcolm Brown and the Texas' coaches evaluations of both players.
Already possessing verbal offers from Oregon and Washington, Coleman will be highly sought after, but currently has the Longhorns out in front, in fact, "pretty far out in front," with his parents already considering a move if he ends up committing to playing at Texas.
