Auburn Tigers football coach Hugh Freeze has focused on building his receiving corps the past two years, adding several blue-chips to his 2024 class, adding a pair in the 2025 class while also nabbing two top-line transfers.
Greg McElroy shouted out Cam Coleman, Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets transfer Eric Singleton, and Wake Forest transfer Horatio Fields, in particular, while giving Freeze credit for what he's built.
"Hugh Freeze has done a great job of recognizing what I need to solidify in order to take this program to the next level. He knows he has Cam Coleman. He knows he’s got a great talent at wide receiver but they wanted to get a little bit more versatility by adding Eric Singleton from Georgia Tech. He’s 1 of the best transfer portal players in the entire country. He’s an All-ACC player from a year ago with remarkable top-end speed," McElroy said on the "Always College Football" show.
“You also get some length in Horatio Fields that can go up and win some of those contested catch situations. So you add 2 really solid wide receiver transfers to what was already an emerging wide receiver room.”
For all of Freeze's perceived flaws, whether it's a minor one, like an excessive golf habit, or a more concerning one about the locker room culture he's overseeing, recruiting at the receiver position cannot be considered one of them.
If Jackson Arnold doesn't meet Freeze's gaudy hype, then it's all for naught.
But entering the season with more optimism than that, Freeze has done well at one of the most important positions on the field, with overwhelming amounts of talent up and down the depth chart.
