The Colorado State Rams have officially added some depth to their defensive corps, as coach Jim McElwain announced the addition of four players to the roster on Thursday: defensive lineman Lanston Tanyi and Eli Edwards, defensive back Jasen Oden and wide receiver Jordan White.

It had previously been reported that Tanyi was transferring from Appalachian State to Colorado State for his graduate studies, but this announcement seems to confirm that he'll be joining the Rams for his final season of eligibility.

In addition to Tanyi, the Rams add Edwards out of Cerritos College (Calif.) to bolster their defensive line. Edwards has two remaining seasons of eligibility after his sophomore season ended prematurely due to a torn ACL.

Oden is a freshman out of North Carolina Tech Christian Academy in Charlotte, while White is a freshman wideout out of California that was also recruited by the likes of UCLA, San Diego State and Washington. Both should help in the passing game, albeit on different sides of the ball.
