Former Texas Christian University starting center Coltin Deery has entered the college football transfer portal after failing to secure a permanent spot on an NFL roster. Deery participated in a rookie minicamp with the New York Giants in May but did not sign a professional contract. A three-year collegiate starter, he previously played for Maryland before moving to TCU. During the 2025 season, he started 12 games as the primary center for a Horned Frogs team that finished with a 9-4 record. Deery will now look for a new program to play his final season of college eligibility. His decision follows a growing trend of players returning to the college level to pursue potential name, image, and likeness opportunities rather than remaining on NFL practice squads.
