Auburn WR signee Cam Coleman finishes as country's No. 3 overall player
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.”
