A month ago, wide receiver wasn’t a need in the NCAA transfer portal for the Texas Longhorns, according to head coach Steve Sarkisian, but after the departures of three players, including starters DeAndre
Moore Jr. and Parker Livingstone, Sarkisian and his staff are now in pursuit of Auburn Tigers transfer Cam Coleman, working to secure a visit from the No. 4 overall player in the portal, according to On3’s Pete Nakos.
A rising junior, Coleman is expected to spend one season at his next destination before declaring for the 2027 NFL Draft.
Texas A&M is another potential contender for the 6’3, 201-pounder — the Aggies hosted Coleman for a visit during the 2023 recruiting cycle before losing out to the Tigers. Clemson and LSU also received official visits from Coleman, who was a consensus five-star prospect ranked as the No. 3 prospect overall and the No. 2 wide receiver, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. Texas also offered, but never generated any traction with the Alabama product.
Coleman quickly lived up to his recruiting rankings on The Plains, notching 37 catches for 598 yards and eight touchdowns as a true freshman before recording 56 receptions for 708 yards and five touchdowns in 2025. Both years for Coleman at Auburn were limited by questionable quarterback play, especially as a sophomore when the Tigers rotated Jackson Arnold and Ashton Daniels.
A lengthy wide receiver with elite speed, Coleman’s ball skills and run after the catch ability make him an elite NFL Draft prospect who only needs better quarterback play to put it all together at the college level.
