Auburn star wide receiver reportedly entering transfer portal

(Auburn Athletics)

The Auburn Tigers are looking like they are going to have to hit the reset button as a program — another one of their players is reportedly entering the transfer portal.

With the start of head coach Alex Golesh, the Tigers have seen numerous players declare their intentions to enter the transfer portal over the last few weeks.

None of them have been anywhere near as significant as the news that broke on Monday. Star wide receiver Cam Coleman seems to be the latest player entering the portal, according to a report from On3’s Hayes Fawcett.

Coleman — who has racked up over 1,300 yards and 13 touchdowns over the last two seasons — will instantly become the top available player in the portal and will be sought after by every team in the country looking to add a wide receiver.

The star wideout joins fellow soon-to-be former Tigers in the portal, including Malcolm Simmons, Horatio Fields, Jay Crawford, Robert Woodyard, Kayin Lee, Ashton Daniels and numerous others. It looks like what could be a painful rebuild for Auburn really begins now.

Of course, Golesh will supplement from the portal himself. There’s a case to be made for not getting too broken up about gutting a roster that just went 5-7, but Tiger fans are rightfully upset to lose Coleman.

Coleman’s moves in the transfer portal could end up breaking NIL records, and have now made him the most-followed recruit of the offseason.
