Texas A&M’s 2024 recruiting class is now ranked in the Top 10 after the commitment of 5-star WR, Cam Coleman

Coming off their recent recruiting haul, the Aggies 2024 has cracked the Top 10 in 247Sports’ newest 2024 team rankings.

Texas A&M’s 2024 recruiting class, one of the hottest cycles since the last week of June, started July off with a bang after landing four-star wide receiver Jaylan Hornsby on Saturday; the Aggies’ unstoppable momentum ride continued on Tuesday, which happened to be the Fourth of July, as five-star wide receiver Cameron Coleman, currently positioned as the No.3-ranked WR in the 2024 cycle, shocked the entire college football world by committing to the Maroon and White.

Ah yes, every naysayer and Texas fan who has dedicated too much of their time hoping for a Texas A&M recruiting downfall, sorry? Aggies wide receiver coach Dameyune Craig, who deserves a ton of credit for landing all four WR prospects in the cycle, isn’t finished yet as five-star athlete/wide receiver Terry Bussey, who recently placed the Aggies in his Top 5 program list, looked to be very intrigued after Coleman’s exciting commitment.

Let’s call it the “Coleman effect” for now, as Texas A&M has now broken into the Top 10 in 247Sports’ updated 2024 team rankings; the Aggies soared to No. 9 in both the Overall and Composite rankings from 13th just three days ago. To recap, here are the prospects Texas A&M has landed since Thursday, June 22:

  • Thursday, June 22: Four-star tight end Eric Karner, Four-star linebacker Jordan Lockhart.
  • Friday, June 23: Three-star offensive lineman Coen Echols.
  • Monday, June 26: Four-star offensive tackle Weston Davis.
  • Tuesday, June 27: Three-star edge Gabriel Reliford
  • Thursday, June 29: Four-star wide receiver Drelon Miller
  • Friday, June 30: Four-star linebacker Tyanthony Smith
  • Saturday, July 1: Four-star wide receiver Jaylan Hornsby
  • Tuesday, July 4: Five-star wide receiver Cameron Coleman

With 16 total commits in the cycle, Jimbo Fisher and his staff focus are now focused on a Top 5 finish, and at this point, anything is possible after Tuesday’s results. Gig ’em, and BTHO 2024 recruiting cycle.

2024 5-star WR Cam Coleman has committed to Texas A&M

Happy 4th of July, Aggies! 2024 5-star WR Cam Coleman has officially announced his commitment to Texas A&M!

BOOM!! Stunningly, Texas A&M received a massive surprise on the 4th of July, as 2024 five-star wide receiver Cam Coleman has committed to the Maroon and White after multiple recruiting analysts pegged the Alabama native to land with the Auburn Tigers.

Coleman is currently positioned as the 11th-ranked player in the 2024 cycle, the 3rd-ranked wide receiver prospect, and the No.1-ranked player in Alabama, according to 247Sports Composite rankings.

For all the naysayers who believe the Aggies are struggling to land commitments compared to other SEC programs, patience is a virtue, and that has been proven tonight after Cameron Coleman’s commitment; he’s honestly one of the most skilled offensive talents in the last three recruiting cycles.

Standing at 6-3 and just over 180 pounds, Coleman is the definition of size, speed, and athleticism while showing incredible agility and fluidity as an athlete in space, possessing the straight-line speed and explosiveness off the line of scrimmage needed to excel at the next level. His height and athletic frame are the building blocks to develop into a No.1 receiving option at the X position for the Aggies, who, after losing 2022 five-star wide receiver Chris Marshall, aim to replace what they lost with Coleman, who may be an even better player at this point in his career.

Joining wide receivers Drelon Miller, Jaylan Hornsby, Debron Gatling, Jimbo Fisher, and his staff has assembled what could be an unstoppable unit as soon as the 2025 season. With his commitment, Texas A&M is now ranked 9th in 247Sports’ team recruiting rankings. From Cameron to Cameron, Congratulations, Cameron! and Gig ’em!

Auburn is the heavy favorite to land in-state 5-star wide receiver Cam Coleman

Auburn is sutrging for elite in-state wide receiver Cam Coleman.

Central-Phenix City High School has produced some great wide receivers over the past years but Auburn has been unable to take advantage of the opportunity and watched them leave the state to head to Clemson. That run may be coming to a close as they have become heavy favorites to land five-star wide receiver [autotag]Cam Coleman[/autotag].

On3’s Cole Pinkston and Jefrey Lee are the latest recruiting experts for On3 to predict the in-state target will pick Auburn and their predictions give them a 93.4% chance of landing Coleman according to On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine.

He is the No. 10 overall player and No. 3 wide receiver in the On3 Industry Ranking. He is also the No. 1 player from Alabama.

They may be the favorite, but his recruitment is far from over as  Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU, and Texas A&M are still pushing hard for the 6-foot-4 and 185-pounder.

He has taken official visits to Auburn, Texas A&M, Clemson and LSU with one more to FSU likely to happen during the season. However, he has visited Auburn more than anywhere else and he stated that his relationship with Auburn’s wide receiver coach [autotag]Marcus Davis[/autotag] is the best of any coach recruiting him.

“We talk about everything, especially stuff outside of football,” Coleman said of Davis. “(Auburn is) recruiting me the hardest. I have a bond with Coach Davis and Hugh Freeze always talks about he wants to be the head coach that I talk to the most. Auburn is really coming after me hard.”

A decision date has not been set but he is expected to wait until closer to early signing day in December to announce his commitment.

Five-star WR Cam Coleman includes Auburn in top eight

Auburn remains in the chase for one of its’ top 2024 targets.

[autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag] and company received great news Monday, as one of their most heavily pursued 2024 targets listed Auburn in his top eight.

[autotag]Cam Coleman[/autotag], a five-star wide receiver from nearby Phenix City, revealed his top eight college choices on Monday. Joining Auburn in making the cut is Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU, and Texas A&M.

Auburn is currently in the lead to land Coleman according to On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine with a 77.9% chance. Texas A&M and Clemson are next in line with less than a 10% chance to earn his signature.

He told On3’s Chad Simmons that out of all the coaches he chats with across the country, Auburn wide receivers coach Marcus Davis is the one that he has the best relationship with.

“We talk about everything, especially stuff outside of football,” Coleman said of Davis. “(Auburn is) recruiting me the hardest. I have a bond with Coach Davis and Hugh Freeze always talks about he wants to be the head coach that I talk to the most. Auburn is really coming after me hard.”

Now that he has dropped his top eight, Coleman plans to take his time with committing. He has taken official visits to Clemson, Florida State, Auburn, and Texas A&M, with one final visit coming this weekend to LSU. Expect Coleman to announce his commitment closer to early signing day in December.

After landing in his Top 8 program list, is Texas A&M a lock to land 2024 5-star WR Cam Coleman?

After announcing his Top 8 program list, which included Texas A&M, 2024 5-star WR Cam Coleman is a current favorite to land with the Maroon and White

The summer months are peppered with preseason previews and rankings galore in the college football landscape. At the same time, the rest of June and July is spent on recruiting, specifically top program lists, which eventually leads to program-changing commitments.

The month of June for Texas A&M has been hectic on the recruiting front, as each weekend has seen high-priority prospects from the 2024 cycle make their way to Aggieland with one question in mind: What can the Aggies do for me?

Last weekend, two of the top wide receiver prospects descended upon College Station, four-star Jaylen Hornsby and five-star Cameron “Cam” Coleman, who revealed an already close friendship through a post on Twitter,  noting the potential impact both could make on the gridiron while dawning Maroon and White.

Well, things became even clearer regarding Coleman’s interest in the Aggies as he released his Top 8 program list, which includes Florida State, Georgia, LSU, Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Kentucky, and Texas A&M. According to one analyst that I rely on concerning any recruiting movements, Rivals’ insider Landyn Rosow believes that the Aggies are not only the front runner for Coleman, but also the likes of Jaylen Hornsby, and four-star Drelon Miller, who would, of course, join the already committed four-star speedster, Debron Gatling.

For all the naysayers who believe the Aggies are struggling to land commitments compared to other SEC programs, patience is a virtue. Cameron Coleman could be the change agent Jimbo Fisher has been looking for when it’s all said and done.

2023 5-star WR Cam Coleman will take an official visit to Texas A&M this weekend

It has been reported that 2024 five-star wide receiver Cam Coleman will visit College Station this weekend.

Amid all the scheduled recruiting visits for Texas A&M this summer, whenever a high-ranking five-star prospect at any position announces their intentions to visit College Station, you know we’ve reached that exciting portion of the offseason.

On Monday, news dropped that 2024 five-star wide receiver Cam Coleman will take his official visit to Texas A&M this weekend, reported by Rivals and Aggie’s insider Landyn Rosow, who revealed the news through a tweet that afternoon.

Coleman took an unofficial campus visit on April 15 and has been slowly trending toward the Maroon and White. However, the competition for his talents comprises nearly every blue blood program in the country.

According to 247Sports, Coleman is currently positioned as the 17th-ranked player in the 2024 cycle, the 5th-ranked wide receiver prospect, and the 3rd-ranked player in Alabama, as he is set to enter his final senior season at Central High School in Phenix City, Alabama. During his 2022 junior campaign, Coleman recorded 31 receptions for 542 yards and six touchdowns, and he’s looking to eclipse those numbers next season.

Outside of his visit this weekend, Coleman will also travel to Clemson (June 2), Auburn (June 12), and LSU (June 23), who remain the Aggies’ biggest opponents for Colemans’ commitment from now on.

LSU facing heavy competition for 4-star receiver commit after official visit slate

It may take some work to keep Joseph Stone in the class.

LSU saw its first decommitment in the 2024 recruiting class on Sunday as four-star tight end [autotag]Tayvion Galloway[/autotag] backed off his pledge.

Given the current recruiting landscape, he almost certainly won’t be the last. In fact, it may take a strong push from LSU to maintain the commitment of one of its top prospects in the class.

Four-star Fairburn (Ga.) Langston Hughes receiver [autotag]Joseph Stone[/autotag] committed to LSU back in July, but he’s kept his recruitment open and continues to take visits. After unofficially visiting UCF, Louisville and Texas earlier in the spring, he’ll have officially visited all three by the end of the month.

Stone checked out UCF and Louisville the last two weekends, and he’s set to head to Austin, Texas, this coming weekend. Those visits reportedly made a positive impression on Stone, who On3 ranks just inside the national top 300.

He’s currently the only receiver in the class, though the Tigers do have some other high-profile options, most notably Alabama prospect [autotag]Cam Coleman[/autotag]. A five-star and Auburn lean according to On3, Coleman will officially visit on June 23.

Florida likely to get official visit from this 5-star WR

While no dates have been locked in for that official visit, Coleman is looking to get back to Gainesville quickly.

The Florida Gators recently hosted five-star Central High (Phenix City, Alabama) wide receiver [autotag]Cam Coleman[/autotag] on an unofficial visit last week, according to On3, and it might not be too long before Billy Napier and Co. see him back on campus.

“On this visit, I saw the campus, I watched some film, I got to go see an alligator with coach Billy Gonzales, I spent time with coach Napier and this visit really changed how I feel about Florida,” Coleman said to On3’s Chad Simmons. “I know Florida is definitely getting an official visit.”

While no dates have been locked in for that official visit, Coleman is looking to get back to Gainesville quickly. He’s scheduled to be at Clemson over the first weekend of June and LSU at the end of the month, so Florida could fit somewhere in the middle.

Auburn and Florida State are likely to get him on campus during the fall, and Georgia is the other program pushing for an official visit. The On3 recruiting prediction machine currently gives Auburn the best odds to land him at 79.6% but things could change after his June visits.

Coleman is a five-star receiver, according to 247Sports, ESPN and On3. Rivals.com hasn’t quite caught up on this kid’s talent yet and has him listed as a three-star talent, but Coleman’s meteoric rise — he was unranked before jumping up to No. 20 overall in February — somewhat explains the delay.

On3 is the most bullish on Coleman, ranking him at No. 6 overall and No. 2 among receivers in the class of 2024. ESPN has him at Nos. 7 and 1, respectively, which leads to an industry ranking (weighted average) of No. 25 nationally and No. 6 among pass catchers.

2024 5-star WR Cam Coleman is visting Texas A&M this weekend

Texas A&M is reportedely in the midst of hosting standout 2024 5-star wide receiver Cam Coleman this weekend.

Amidst Texas A&M Baseball’s run in the SEC Tournament this week, head coach Jimbo Fisher and his staff have been hard at work, as it has been reported that 2024 five-star wide receiver Cam Coleman is visiting College Station this weekend.

According to 247Sports, Coleman, who is entering his senior season at Central High School in Phenix City, Alabama, is currently positioned as the 17th-ranked player in the 2024 cycle, the 5th-ranked wide receiver prospect, and the 3rd-ranked player in the always talent-rich state of Alabama.

Standing at 6-3 and just over 180 pounds, Coleman is the definition of size, speed, and athleticism while showing incredible agility and fluidity as an athlete in space, possessing the straight-line speed and explosiveness off the line of scrimmage needed to excel at the next level. His height and athletic frame are the building blocks to develop into a No.1 receiving option at the X position for the Aggies, who are still looking to replace what they lost in former 2022 five-star receiver Chris Marshall.

During his 2022 junior season, Coleman recorded 31 receptions for 542 yards and six touchdowns. After taking an unofficial visit to Texas A&M on April 15, the fact that he’s already back for a second visit just a month later is a positive sign moving forward.

Auburn is ‘high on the list’ for in-state safety Red Morgan

He is one of several Auburn targets at Central-Phenix City.

Auburn hosted a talented group of local prospects Thursday in safety [autotag]Red Morgan[/autotag], five-star wide receiver [autotag]Cam Coleman[/autotag], offensive lineman [autotag]Mal Waldrep[/autotag] and wide receiver [autotag]Daylyn Upshaw[/autotag]. All four play for nearby Central-Phienix City and have Auburn offers.

The group was hosted by Auburn wide receivers coach [autotag]Marcus Davis[/autotag] and while he plays on the opposite side of the ball, Morgan enjoyed his time with Davis.

“It feels like home,” he told Auburn Live’s Jeffrey Lee of the campus. “It does. The coaches, how they treat us, they feel like father figures. Coach Davis, he’s not even my position coach, but the relationship we have … I mess with Coach Davis.”

It was Morgan’s second visit under the new staff and it made quite the impression on the 6-foot, 175-pounder.

“They’re high on the list,” he added.

Morgan is the No. 499 overall player and No. 49 safety in the 247Sports Composite ranking. He is also the No. 27 player in Alabama.

Morgan is planning to return to Auburn for an official visit sometime in June before announcing his commitment either during the summer or early in the fall. He already has official visits scheduled with Michigan State (June 2), Cincinnati (June 9) and Miami (June 30).

The Tigers have already landed four-star cornerbacks [autotag]A’Mon Lane[/autotag] and [autotag]Jayden Lewis[/autotag] in the 2024 recruiting cycle but are still looking for their first commit at safety.
