Auburn star wide receiver Cam Coleman intends to enter the transfer portal despite heavy interest from the new coaching staff to retain him, according to multiple media reports.

Coleman, who just finished his second season with the Tigers, led Auburn with 708 receiving yards and had five of its 11 touchdown catches. The 6-foot-3, 201-pound sophomore has 1,306 yards and 13 touchdowns on 93 catches through 23 games.

A native of Phenix City, Ala., Coleman was a coveted five-star prospect in the 2024 class, the No. 3 overall prospect and No. 2 receiver in the class according to the 247Sports composite rankings.

Heading into his final required season in college football, he instantly becomes 247Sports’ top-ranked transfer in the 2026 portal class.

If he’s unable to retain any of them, new Auburn coach Alex Golesh will be losing five of the six receiving leaders off the 2025 Auburn roster entering his first season. Malcolm Simmons, Perry Thompson and Horatio Fields announced their intentions to transfer and tight end Brandon Frazier is out of eligibility.
