Oklahoma redshirt senior cornerback CJ Coldon declared for the 2023 NFL Draft on Wednesday night.

Coldon concluded his lone season at OU with 40 total tackles, six pass deflections and a team-high four interceptions. Though his time with the Sooners started slow, he eventually earned starts in their final three games.

The fifth-year Wyoming transfer recorded 155 tackles, six interceptions and 22 pass deflections across his entire college career.

Coldon was an under-the-radar recruit out of high school, rated the No. 1726 player nationally as a receiver in the 2017 class. 

He's the seventh OU player to declare for the draft.
