One of the biggest wins so far in recruiting for the Auburn football program has been the commitment of 4-star quarterback Walker White. It was somewhat of a surprise when the 2024 prospect committed to the Tigers, as most people expected him to choose Clemson.
Some were skeptical of his early commitment, but White did a lot to affirm that Auburn football was his final choice, including naming a long list of prospects he hoped to get to the Plains to play alongside him. Since his commitment, he has been actively recruiting many top-ranked players in his class, including J’Marion Burnette, who committed last week.
Another prospect on his list is 5-star wide receiver Cam Coleman. The in-state receiver was considered to be an Alabama lean for awhile, but he has been made a top priority by the Auburn football program and his recruitment has definitely been heating up. He unofficially visited campus twice in one week, on March 23 and 29, according to his 247 Sports recruiting profile.
Coleman, from Phenix City, is ranked as the #21 overall prospect and the #7 wide receiver in the class of 2024, and is the #4 recruit out of the state of Alabama. He has over 20 offers so far, but his 247 Sports profile claims that his top interests at the moment are Alabama, Auburn, Florida State, and LSU.
Not only is the Auburn staff making Coleman a priority, but so is Walker White. The wide receiver reported that White definitely wants to be throwing to him on the Plains in the future, per Auburn Live:
"“He was just texting me the other day,” Coleman said to Spiegelman. “Walker is in my ear a lot … really, ever since he committed. I know that he wants me down there for the spring game and to come and build a relationship with him.”"
The future is looking bright for the Tigers, and hopefully Cam Coleman will be a player that gets them back to the top where they belong.
