No. 1 transfer WR Cam Coleman heading to Texas

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Cam Coleman, the No. 1 wide receiver in the transfer portal, announced his commitment to Texas on Sunday.

In two seasons at Auburn, Coleman caught 93 passes for 1,306 yards and 13 touchdowns.

The 6-foot-3, 200-pound receiver, who was ranked by On3 as the top transfer wideout, also made visits to Alabama, Texas Tech and Texas A&M.

His move to Texas leaves Auburn with its second five-star departure of the day. Earlier, quarterback Deuce Knight announced he was moving on to another Southeastern Conference rival, Ole Miss.

Texas was among the power-conference programs to offer Coleman when he was a player at Central Phenix City High School in Alabama in the 2024 class, but he elected to stay in state at Auburn. The 247Sports composite listed him as the No. 2 wide receiver in the recruiting class with only Ohio State star Jeremiah Smith was ahead of him. He was also No. 3 overall ranked player in the incoming class.

At Texas, Coleman will join the returning Ryan Wingo in forming a mighty 1-2 punch for quarterback Arch Manning. Wingo had 54 catches for 834 yards and seven touchdowns last season.

The Longhorns finished the season with a 10-3 record (6-2 SEC).

Reports: Auburn star WR Cam Coleman intends to transfer

Posted on | by Field Level Media

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.
