Auburn signee [autotag]Cam Coleman[/autotag] is catching hype early by turning heads in Auburn’s spring practices. While he makes it look easy on the practice field, he has learned that making the transition from high school football to the SEC is anything but.
While speaking to reporters last week, the true freshman from Phenix City was asked about his method of staying humble on the field. He shared his “welcome to college moment” that involves Auburn linebacker [autotag]Eugene Asante[/autotag] as an example.
“Man, I got rocked in practice one time,” Coleman said. “I got rocked by Eugene (Asante). I tried to crack Eugene and he was like, ‘Welcome to college!’ I thought I was going to get him.”
Like many players on Auburn’s roster, Coleman is learning new schemes and trying to make the most of his allotted time on the field. He says that he believes the team is starting to operate smoothly as A-Day approaches.
“We’ve definitely progressed during the spring because when we first started we were all trying to figure things out with the new offense,” Coleman said. “Tuesday was probably our best practice because everything is starting to click and everything is starting to come together now. The timing is starting to pick up. The blocking schemes are starting to come together. It’s really going to come with time and repetition.”
Coleman was Auburn’s top signee of the 2024 class and is one of two high-profile receivers to join Auburn’s roster for the spring alongside four-star [autotag]Bryce Cain[/autotag]. He is expected to make noise this season as two publications, College Sports Wire and The Athletic, list Coleman as a player set to make an early impact on the college football season.
