Cam Coleman to Texas: Auburn WR transfers to Longhorns

Arch Manning had an uneven first season as the starting quarterback for a Texas team that lost three games and missed out on the College Football Playoff after being the preseason No. 1 team in the sport.

In his second season in the role, he’ll have one of the best receivers in the country to throw to.

Auburn transfer Cam Coleman has committed to the Longhorns, giving coach Steve Sarkisian and his program one of the most coveted players in the transfer portal.

Coleman announced his decision in an Instagram post on Sunday, Jan. 11.

Despite being on the receiving end of shoddy quarterback play last season, Coleman was productive for the Tigers, with 56 catches for 708 yards and five touchdowns.

As a sophomore, Coleman has two seasons of eligibility remaining.

A former five-star recruit, the 6-foot-3, 201-pound Coleman was rated by 247Sports as the No. 4 overall player in the transfer portal and the No. 1 wide receiver.

He’ll join a Texas program that struggled at times through the air last season. Longhorns quarterbacks combined to complete just 61.3% of their passes while averaging 7.7 yards per attempt and 250.7 yards per game
