Texas adds speedy, productive SJSU transfer CB Jay’Vion Cole

Texas gets a possible starter and impact player in the secondary with San Jose State transfer sophomore CB Jay’Vion Cole late this weekend.

On3’s Hayes Fawcett reported via a post on Instagram on May 5 that former San Jose State Spartans sophomore transfer cornerback Jay’Vion Cole committed to Texas football. Cole committed to Texas over other schools that offered him in the NCAA Transfer Portal, including the Auburn Tigers and Michigan State Spartans.

Texas hosted Cole for a multi-day official visit to Austin from May 2-4. Cole said that the visit to Texas this weekend was “amazing”, which apparently led him to shut down his portal recruitment without taking any other trips to other schools that wanted him.

Cole was scheduled to visit Auburn starting May 7. But Texas got him to commit before that visit was able to take place early next week.
