Mon Dec 29 17:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Star Receiver Cam Coleman to Exit Auburn, Enter Transfer Portal
Auburn, AL – In a major blow to Alex Golesh’s offensive plans, star wide receiver Cam Coleman is expected to enter the transfer portal when it opens on January 2nd, Auburn Undercover has learned. Despite the efforts of Auburn’s coaching staff to retain him, the former 5-star recruit and highest-rated offensive signee in program history will be seeking a new team.
Coleman made an immediate impact at Auburn, racking up 93 receptions for 1,306 yards and 13 touchdowns in his two seasons. Sources indicate the coaching staff was prepared to make him one of the highest-paid returning players on the roster.
Coleman’s departure adds to the woes of the Auburn receiving corps, as Malcolm Simmons, Perry Thompson, and Horatio Fields have already announced their intentions to enter the portal. The future of Eric Singleton Jr. remains uncertain.
The loss of Coleman is a significant setback for Auburn, who prioritized his retention alongside All-American linebacker Xavier Atkins and redshirt freshman quarterback Deuce Knight. While Atkins has recommitted, Knight’s decision is pending.
The transfer portal window opens January 2nd and closes January 16th, operating under new NCAA rules. This year, the NCAA eliminated the spring transfer portal window, meaning graduate transfers must enter during the January period like all other athletes. A coaching change does not trigger a portal opening for players until five days after a new coach is hired, only applying if a coaching change occurs after January 2nd.
Auburn fans will be watching closely as the transfer portal window unfolds, hoping to mitigate the impact of Coleman’s departure and solidify the team’s roster for the upcoming season.
