Overview
- Multiple outlets report Coleman has informed Auburn he will enter the NCAA transfer portal when the Jan. 2–16 window opens, with On3 first and ESPN and CBS confirming.
- The former five-star is widely projected to be the top wide receiver available and a premier NFL prospect with two years of eligibility remaining.
- Auburn made a strong retention push, including a reported $2 million NIL offer per On3, but Coleman is proceeding toward the portal.
- Coleman produced 93 receptions for 1,306 yards and 13 touchdowns over two seasons, leading Auburn in 2025 with 56 catches for 708 yards and five scores.
- His planned departure follows a wave of exits that has thinned Auburn’s receiver room, with Perry Thompson, Malcolm Simmons, Horatio Fields and Cam’Ron King also planning portal moves, and major programs are being mentioned as potential suitors.
