Auburn sophomore wide receiver Cam Coleman plans to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal after two years with the Tigers, according to On3’s Hayes Fawcett.
Coleman came to The Plains as one of the highest-rated recruits in recent Auburn history, and he largely lived up to that billing.
Across two seasons, he hauled in 84 passes for 1,215 yards and 12 touchdowns. And the Alabama native did that despite the Tigers’ massive struggles in the passing game under Hugh Freeze. Auburn’s new staff under Alex Golesh worked hard to keep him from entering the portal, but he’ll ultimately hit college football free agency in just a few days.
Once he enters the portal on January 2, Coleman will be one of the most sought-after players in the country with two years of eligibility remaining.
As a high school prospect, Coleman was a Five-Star Plus+ recruit in the 2024 class. According to the Rivals Industry Ranking, an equally weighted average that utilizes all three major recruiting services, he was the nation’s No. 4 overall prospect and No. 2 wide receiver.
He signed with the Tigers over offers from Clemson, Texas A&M, Alabama, LSU and dozens of other major programs. Coleman was committed to the Aggies for nearly five months before they fired head coach Jimbo Fisher, and as a result, Coleman’s future position coach Dameyune Craig. He flipped his pledge from A&M to Auburn on December 1, 2023 — marking a massive recruiting win for Hugh Freeze.
