Cam Coleman speaks to media for first time since transferring to Texas

Cam Coleman was the crown jewel in this year's NCAA Transfer Portal. The wide receiver from Auburn picked Texas over Texas A&M and Alabama. For the first time since signing with Longhorns football in January, the big playmaker addressed the media. Coleman has been the Tigers primary offensive threat for two season, accumulating 93 receptions, 1,306 yards, 13 touchdowns and 14 yards per catch. In 2025, Coleman had 56 grabs for 708 yards, five touchdowns and averaged 12.6 yards per catch. Coleman answered a wide range of questions on Wednesday after Texas practice. First, he was asked why he picked Texas over the Aggies and the Tide in the first place.

"Just a lot of prayer," Coleman said. "A lot of thought. A lot of time with my family. And really just find the best opportunity for me. Really just what they've done in the past. What they've got rolling right going on here, so just a really good fit for me." #Texas WR Cam Coleman speaks on why he chose the Longhorns.

Coleman says the two are already building great chemistry. “That’s who is ultimately going to be getting me the ball," he said. "So really, we have been building that relationship. It’s been good. Just really been building chemistry every day. Really just watching film. He tells me where he wants me to be on routes. Really just building chemistry every day." Texas WR Cam Coleman addresses the media for the first time.

"And he wants to be good, which is the most encouraging thing. He's a hard worker. I'm excited." #Texas QB Arch Manning talks on WR Cam Coleman.

Also says Ryan Wingo was the unsung hero in Coleman’s recruitment out of the portal.
