Portland State cornerback Xavier Coleman was named to his second All-America team today as Hero Sports named its FCS All-America honorees. Coleman, a senior, was named third team All-America, matching the honor given him earlier this month by the Associated Press. 

Coleman, also a team captain, was paid a compliment by opposing teams this season by not seeing a lot of passes thrown his way. After leading the Big Sky with 13 pass breakups and ranking second in interceptions with five in 2015, Coleman didn't see nearly as much traffic in 2016. Still, he was one of the top Viking defenders again, making 29 tackles with five pass breakups and two interceptions. 

Originally from Jesuit High School, Coleman had a team-leading 45 games played and 35 starts in his career, totaling 152 tackles, 32 pass breakups and nine interceptions. The 5-11, 190-pound defensive back was named first team All-Big Sky Conference this season after being second team All-Big Sky as a junior.
