No. 1 WR in Auburn football Announces Commitment to College Football Powerhouse…
The Auburn Tigers pulled off a massive upset this weekend, beating the No. 15 Texas A&M Aggies 43-41 in a four-overtime thriller to put a hit into the Aggies’ chances of earning an at-large bid for the College Football Playoff.
Auburn shot out to a quick 21-7 start, but the game went back-and-forth from there after Texas A&M scored consecutive touchdowns within a two-minute stretch, leading to an overtime result.
It’s been an up-and-down season for the Tigers, who were competitive for a number of games early in the season. However, they lost four games within 10 points, dropping to a 2-5 record.
But, since then, Auburn has shown signs of hope, winning three of their past four games, including this weekend’s 43-41 thriller over a top-15 team, giving the team some momentum heading into the season finale against the Alabama Crimson Tide.
A big part of the team’s recent success has been the emergence of five-star freshman wide receiver Cam Coleman, who has put together back-to-back 100-yard, two-touchdown games up for the Tigers, developing a rapport with quarterback Payton Thorne.
Coleman, seen as the No. 3 player in the Class of 2025 by On3, has turned into Auburn’s second-leading receiver as a freshman, totaling 30 catches for 720 yards and seven touchdowns. He trails only Penn State transfer KeAndre Lambert-Smith atop the team’s leaders in both receiving yards and touchdowns, establishing himself as a consistent downfield threat, despite Auburn’s shaky quarterback play this year.
