Auburn WR Cam Coleman: Top Target in 2025 Transfer Portal

PHENIX CITY, Ala. — As Auburn University prepares to hire a new head football coach, wide receiver Cam Coleman has emerged as the most sought-after player in the 2025 transfer portal cycle.

Due to a recent rule change, players can only enter the portal five days after a coaching change, a significant reduction from the previous 30-day period. This means new head coaches have a unique chance to keep their star athletes, like Coleman, who is key to their program’s future.

Standing 6-foot-3 and weighing 201 pounds, Coleman is known for his impressive speed, clocking a sub 4.5-second 40-yard dash. In his time on the field, he has showcased his skills by making 74 receptions for 1,072 yards and 11 touchdowns. Despite playing under challenging conditions due to inconsistent quarterback play, Coleman’s potential remains high.

A source familiar with the situation highlighted the importance of Coleman’s junior season. “The junior season is huge,” the source said. “He needs productivity.” Auburn’s next coach will need a solid plan to retain Coleman, who has the potential to be a first-round draft pick.

While Coleman’s ties to Auburn run deep, the looming possibility of entering the transfer portal could also tempt him with opportunities at powerhouse programs like Alabama or Texas A&M, where he has connections with former recruiters.

Agent David Mulugheta represents Coleman, suggesting any decisions regarding his future will be influenced by financial considerations as well. Elite receivers often command contracts exceeding $2 million annually.

Auburn’s football future hinges significantly on the decisions made regarding Coleman. As coaching rumors circulate, his situation will be one to watch closely as college football heads into the transfer portal season.
