MOSCOW, Idaho – University of Idaho head coach Jason Eck today announced the addition of four transfers to the Vandal football team. The group includes an offensive lineman, a defensive back and two defensive tackles.
 
The group adds veteran support for the Vandals and will shore up the trenches that saw team captains on both sides of the ball graduate. Logan Floyd departed on the offensive side while the defensive line lost Nate DeGraw.
 
All four of these players have already arrived in Moscow and will participate in winter conditioning and spring practice.
 
"We really wanted to address the line of scrimmage with Tarrian, Jakahri and Tylen to our offensive and defensive lines," head coach Jason Eck said. "They are proven players that have been very productive in college. Dwayne was a young man that we recruited last year out of high school, and we are excited to add him to the roster as someone we can develop."
 
Idaho plans on beginning spring football in late March.
 
Tarrian Rainey | Offensive Line | 6-4 | 285| Atlanta, Ga. | Olivet Nazarene (Ill.) | Gr.

In 2022, he was a consensus All-American and was named the Mid State Football Conference Offensive Lineman of the Year. He anchored an offensive that averaged nearly 400 total yards per game in 2022, the highest mark in the MSFA-Midwest league. He goes by the nickname of Biggs.
 
Tylen Coleman | Defensive Line | 6-0 | 255 | Maricopa, Ariz. | Western New Mexico | R-Sr.

He will also provide a big presence in the middle of the defensive line with size and strength.
