Well, recruiting news was expected after the firing of Jimbo Fisher as Texas A&M‘s head football coach. The move will cause a shift in any recruiting momentum until his successor is named.
Interim head coach Elijah Robinson, a man beloved by the team, coaching staff and nearly every prospect he has come in contact with, has seamlessly taken over the position with two games remaining, including Saturday’s season-finale road battle with the 14th-ranked LSU Tigers.
So, going back to the Aggies’ current recruiting landscape, a host of 2024 commits have stated they may look at other options but remain committed to the program as of now. However, since Fisher’s dismissal, A&M’s prized 2024 commit, five-star wide receiver Cam Coleman, has been quiet.
According to Florida State insider Michael Langston, Coleman is predicted to flip to Auburn, the program he had been connected to for most of the summer before his July 4 announcement.

What’s interesting was the timing of this prediction. It came just hours after Auburn, under first-year head coach, hosted New Mexico State in the annual “cupcake matchup.” Instead, the Aggies (9-3) dominated the Tigers up and down the field, winning 31-10 while raking in millions in the process.
Look, Coleman’s relationship with Fisher, as with many of the 2024 recruits, looms large in their decision process moving forward. Until Fisher’s successor is named in possibly the next two weeks, Coleman’s future in the Aggieland, like it or not, is up in the air.
