5-star WR Cam Coleman commits to Texas A&M over Auburn, others
Central-Phenix City 5-star wide receiver Cam Coleman committed to Texas A&M on Tuesday night.
Coleman committed to the Aggies over Auburn, Clemson, Florida State and Florida among others.
The 6-foot-3, 180-pound senior is the No. 1 senior recruit in the state of Alabama, according to the 247 composite rankings. He is the No. 11 player in the nation and the No. 3 player at his position.

“He is a great kid, an unbelievable worker, really good in the classroom, a good teammate and that is not even getting to what he can do on the field with his size, range and speed,” Central-Phenix City coach Patrick Nix told AL.com of Coleman this spring. “His ball skills are crazy good. I tell people and college coaches who come in here all the time if there is one better in the nation, I would like to see him because Cameron is really special.”
As a junior, Coleman caught 31 passes for 542 yards and 6 TDs for the 10-3 Red Devils. Nix’s team had four receivers who caught at least 25 passes, including Michigan signee Karmello English (70 receptions).
Nix has said the best is yet to come for Coleman.
“I don’t think we will see the best of him in high school,” he said. “He is really a young junior right now. I think he will grow and develop and be incredible down the road. He has that work ethic and drive that when you combine it with immense talent is a recipe for greatness.”
Coleman’s commitment leaves just two players in the 247 Top 10 Class of 2024 uncommitted — Vestavia Hills Edge Justin Ross (No. 4) and Hoover linebacker Bradley Shaw (No. 9).
