Auburn wide receiver signee Cam Coleman is now officially the No. 3 overall player in the final 2024 On300 update. After a strong senior season and a strong showing at the Under Armour All-American Coleman is considered a top three player nationally. He is already enrolled at Auburn.

Coleman will retain 5-star plus+ status as he is considered a 5-star by each major recruiting service (On3, 247, Rivals, ESPN). He finishes as the No. 2 wide receiver, behind Ohio State signee Jeremiah Smith, and the No. 1 player in the state of Alabama.

Buzz from Under Armour game

Analysis from On3 Director of Scouting and Ranking, Charles Power

In the years we’ve been covering these national all-star games, no receiver has made more eye-popping, highlight plays than Cam Coleman. In a game that featured a bevy of blue-chip prospects, Cam Coleman was the bona fide athletic freak. The 6-foot-3.5, 185-pounder consistently flashed the largest catch radius at Under Armour, making acrobatic high-point grabs at an alarming rate. His one-handed touchdown grab on Day 3 was easily the catch of the week.

Coleman’s elite twitch and length combine with outstanding natural ball skills and technical catching ability to present a massive red zone threat. With that said, the Auburn signee proved to be much more than a jump ball menace. Pound-for-pound, he may have had the best top-end speed of any player at Under Armour. He got deep at will against opposing corners and had multiple touchdowns that went for 40+ yards in practice. Coleman, who doesn’t turn 18 years-old until August, looks like a special talent at the position who can attack every area of the field.

Signee profile

Position: Outside wide receiver

Height/Weight: 6-foot-3 / 185 pounds

Notable trait/Auburn fit: Coleman is an all-around dominating receiver. He has the length, elite ball skills, can win 50/50 balls, and can run away from defenders. 

On3 Industry Ranking: No. 1 in Alabama

Commitment date: Dec. 1, 2023

Chose Auburn over: Flipped from Texas A&M, Florida State, Georgia

Time of enrollment: January

Notable: Coleman shocked many when he committed to Texas A&M on July 4. Auburn was not overly surprised and knew it would have to play the long game with him. The firing of Jimbo Fisher and Dameyune Craig at A&m ultimately was the turning point, but Coleman was still visiting and heavily communicating with Auburn all along.

Quoteworthy“He’s (Freeze) doing something special, and only time will tell. Y’all will have to see. We’re going to keep going and keep searching for guys. Coach Freeze is a very good guy, and he never stopped recruiting me throughout the whole process. He just stayed on me since Day 1 when he got hired.”
