In 2011, he was moved to strong safety and led the team with 84 tackles, including 4.5 for loss, and six pass breakups.[3] As a junior in 2012, Colvin was moved back to cornerback.[4] He started all 13 games, and finished tied for second in the Big 12 with four interceptions. He also recorded 61 tackles, including 2.5 for loss, and eleven pass breakups while earning first-team All-Big 12 honors.
