The story

As of

He was the No. 5 overall recruit in the 2024 class, and even through a 2025 coaching change at Auburn he put up 708 yards — 1,306 across his two seasons, third-most by an Auburn receiver through a sophomore year. Then he became the marquee move of the offseason: portal's No. 2 player, off to Texas to be Arch Manning's WR1 in Manning's first full year as the unquestioned starter. At 6-3, 201 he's the catch-radius target a vertical passing game is built to feed, and he joins a room that still returns Ryan Wingo. The forward stakes are the swing of the whole bet: a five-star whose production always hinted at more than it showed now has the quarterback to prove it. For Coleman, 2026 is the breakout that's been waiting on the throw — and the line between a good college receiver and a top-of-the-2027-board profile.

Read the rest of the story

So far in 2026 Coleman has 16 catches for 304 yards and five touchdowns. Texas lost 27-24 to Oklahoma on October 10.

Update (Oct. 28, 2026): Texas lost 27-24 to Florida as a 13.5-point favorite on Oct. 17, then beat No. 7 Ole Miss 34-27 on Oct. 24 and is 5-2, No. 11 in the AP poll. Coleman has 20 catches for 334 yards and six touchdowns through seven games, with 3 catches for 18 yards and a touchdown against Florida.

Coleman wins above the rim. At 6-3, 201 he's a jump-ball and contested-catch specialist — On3's scouting deep-dive calls him a receiver who "plays above the rim," "climbs the ladder and boxes out defenders," and finishes through contact, a "red-zone nightmare with an exceptional catch radius." Our play-by-play backs the vertical profile: his explosive-catch rate graded in the 66th percentile, the chunk-play element of a downfield target, even as his overall efficiency (mid-pack yards-per-reception and touchdown rate) marks a player whose production hadn't yet caught up to the talent. The honest edge, per the same report, is hip stiffness that makes him gear down on comebacks and curls — he's a stack-and-go vertical weapon more than a sudden separator underneath. The bet is simple: elite quarterback play turns 72nd-percentile explosiveness into the highlight reel the five-star ranking always promised.
