If the reports hold true, the transfer portal is about to get a serious shake-up - and the Oklahoma Sooners should be ready to pounce.
Auburn wide receiver Cam Coleman is expected to enter the portal when it officially opens Friday, and make no mistake: he’s not just the top wideout on the market - he might be the top player available, period.
At 6-foot-3, Coleman is a matchup nightmare with the kind of profile NFL scouts drool over. A consensus five-star recruit in the 2024 class, he’s been Auburn’s offensive centerpiece since the moment he stepped on campus. He’ll have two years of eligibility left, but whoever lands him is likely looking at a one-year rental before he heads to the league as a high-end draft prospect.
And based on what he’s already done, that timeline makes perfect sense.
As a true freshman in 2024, Coleman wasted no time making noise. He hauled in 37 catches for 598 yards and eight touchdowns, averaging a robust 16.2 yards per reception. That kind of production earned him spots on both the On3 True Freshman All-America and SEC All-Freshman teams - and it was just the beginning.
In 2025, he upped the volume. Despite inconsistent quarterback play - with Jackson Arnold under center for much of the season - Coleman still led Auburn with 708 receiving yards and five touchdowns on 56 receptions. He was the go-to guy, the safety valve, and the big-play threat all rolled into one.
Oklahoma fans got a front-row seat to his talent earlier this year. In a high-profile matchup, Coleman torched the Sooners for 88 yards and a touchdown on just three catches. That kind of efficiency - big plays in big moments - is exactly what makes him such a coveted target now.
So what does this mean for Oklahoma?
The Sooners have managed to avoid any major losses at the receiver position through the portal so far. Deion Burks and Keontez Lewis are graduating, but the rest of the room is largely intact. The priority now is keeping Isaiah Sategna III in Norman - and pairing him with a talent like Coleman would take this offense to another level.
Sategna brings elite speed and field-stretching ability. Coleman brings size, strength, and a knack for winning contested catches. Together, they could form one of the most dangerous receiver duos in the country - a perfect balance of explosiveness and physicality.
Even with most of the 2025 production returning, the Sooners still need a true alpha in the receiver room - someone who can tilt the field and command double-teams. Coleman checks every box. He’s not just a plug-and-play starter; he’s a potential game-changer who can elevate the entire offense.
The portal is unpredictable, and there will be no shortage of suitors for a player of Coleman’s caliber. But if Oklahoma wants to make a statement heading into the next chapter of its program, this is the kind of move that does it.
The Sooners have the pieces. Adding Coleman could be the final push that turns a good receiving corps into a great one - and a dangerous offense into an elite one.
