Auburn flips 5-star WR Cam Coleman from Texas A&M

Phenix City (Ala.) Central five-star wide receiver Cam Coleman has flipped his commitment from Texas A&M to Auburn, according to On3’s Hayes Fawcett.

Coleman made a surprise pledge to the Aggies on July 4 when Auburn was thought to be a frontrunner in his recruitment. Hugh Freeze and Co. kept the foot on the gas, got Coleman on the Plains multiple times during the fall and have now landed one of the biggest flips of the 2024 cycle.

The 6-foot-3.5, 185-pounder is the No. 12 overall prospect and No. 3 wideout in the 2024 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He’s also the top-ranked player in Alabama and becomes Auburn’s highest-ranked commitment.

Cam Coleman Scouting Summary

“Twitched-up receiver with projectable size and length who is arguably the most physically-gifted pass catcher in the 2024 cycle. Projects as a dynamic X wide receiver. Measured in at 6-foot-3.5, 185 pounds with a 33.5-inch arm in the spring prior to his senior season. Tested as a rare athlete during the spring camp cycle. Pairs his athleticism and length to result in a large catch radius. Shows the ability to make eye-popping acrobatic grabs in contested situations. Adjusts to low and wide throws. Frames the ball at the catch point, using good technique. Flashed a relatively advanced release package off the line of scrimmage in the camp setting along with the burst and long-speed to separate on Friday nights. Has the long speed to separate downfield against top corners.

…Runs with toughness after the catch. Has a shorter stride length for a taller wide receiver. Doubles as an electric above-the-rim athlete on the basketball court. Young for the cycle, not turning 18 years-old until his freshman season of college. Does not have the same level of gaudy production as some other top-ranked 2024 wide receivers as he split targets with Michigan signee Karmello English as a junior. Has shown several signs of a very high developmental upside along with a rapid spike in his development over the course of his junior year.”
