It’s safe to say that the Tigers have made Coleman priority No. 1 when it comes to the the receiver position.
“He was just texting me the other day,” Coleman said to Spiegelman. “Walker is in my ear a lot … really, ever since he committed. I know that he wants me down there for the spring game and to come and build a relationship with him.”
Coleman’s personal life bio from On3 profile
Cam Coleman is a two-sport star at Phenix City (Alabama) Central and is coached by former Auburn quarterback Patrick Nix. As a junior on the football field, Coleman racked up 31 receptions for 542 yards, a 17.5 average per catch and six touchdowns. On the court, Coleman is a power forward for the Central varsity basketball team. Coleman says his junior season in basketball will be his final one because he plans on shifting his focus entirely to football.
“My love for football started early on in my life when I was 4 years old,” Coleman told On3’s Andrew Bone. “Started out as a running back when I was little, but I moved to receiver as a freshman. I know I still have a lot of work to do to get better, I want to work on my release off the line. I want to get in and out of my breaks faster and want to continue to work on my vertical so I can high-point the ball. Feel like I am good at blocking and catching the ball in big-time moments.” Coleman’s father, Bobby Coleman, played college football at Alabama State. His mother, Esha Coleman, also attended Alabama State and is originally from Chicago. He is one of six children, and he falls in the middle of his siblings. Coleman plans on majoring in engineering in college.
