Five-Star WR Cam Coleman flips to Auburn
Five-star wide receiver Cam Coleman of Phenix City (AL) Central High flipped his commitment from Texas A&M to Auburn Friday afternoon.
The 6-foot-3, 190 pounder had been committed to the Aggies since July.
“My relationship with coach Davis, coach Freeze, and really the way I feel at home everytime I step foot on the plains,” Coleman said when asked what stood out about Auburn.
His relationship with the coaching staff and their plan for him played a role in his decision as well.
“I’m close to Coach Davis, Coach Reed, and Coach Freeze. They all check up on me everyday to see how I’m doing and they plan on using me as a big body receiver, make big blocks and I’ll just do anything I need to.”
The Yellowhammer State wide receiver joins coach Hugh Freeze and the Tigers’ top 15 2024 class. He is accompanied by five-star wide receiver Perry Thompson, four-star linebacker Demarcus Riddick, and others.

Scouting Summary
On3’s Scouting and Rankings Team writes about him as a college recruit:
“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.”
He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $315K. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
