Overview
- On3 first reported that Cam Coleman informed Auburn he plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal, a move later corroborated by ESPN and other outlets.
- Coleman has two years of eligibility and totals of 93 receptions, 1,306 yards and 13 touchdowns over two seasons, making him one of the market’s most sought-after players.
- His expected departure compounds losses at wide receiver for Auburn, with Perry Thompson, Malcolm Simmons, Horatio Fields and Cam’Ron King also planning portal entries.
- The roster churn follows Auburn’s coaching change, with Hugh Freeze fired Nov. 2 and Alex Golesh hired Nov. 30 during a broader offseason reset.
- Retention efforts were significant, including a reported $2 million NIL offer per On3, and a separate analyst had expressed Auburn’s confidence he might stay despite today’s reports.
