COLLEGE FOOTBALLIdaho signs four transfers

MOSCOW — The Idaho football team inked four transfers, adding veterans to positions of need.

All four transfers are in Moscow and will participate in winter conditioning and spring practice.

Highlighting the group is Tarrian Rainey of Olivet Nazarene (Ill.).

The 6-foot-4, 285-pound offensive tackle will add experience to the line after the departure of team captain and third-team All-Big Sky selection Logan Floyd. Rainey originally committed to Stetson (Fla.) in the Atlantic Sun Conference, but transferred to Olivet Nazarene where he’s played the last four seasons.

Rainey was a three-time All-Mid-State Football Conference selection and was a consensus All-American in 2022.

The other three transfers include defensive linemen Tylen Coleman (Western New Mexico), Jahkari Larmond (Lincoln University Mo.), and defensive back Dwayne McDougle (Northern Arizona).
