Freshman wide receiver Cam Coleman signed with Auburn in hopes of becoming the top target for Tiger quarterbacks. However, he has been unable to produce top target-caliber numbers. That changed Saturday in Auburn’s 48-14 win over ULM at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

Ahead of Saturday’s game, Coleman’s best game was a three-catch, 82-yard game vs. Oklahoma in September. He reeled in four catches in Auburn’s win over Kentucky on Oct. 26 and had recorded just two touchdown receptions. He blew past those numbers on Saturday to headline a record-breaking day for several Tigers.

Cam Coleman was a clear person of interest for Auburn on Saturday against UL-Monroe. On the Tigers’ first possession of the game, the freshman receiver was targeted 3 times. His third reception went for a 20-yard touchdown, his third score of the season.

The Auburn Tigers (4-6) are having yet another disappointing season under head coach Hugh Freeze. The former sideline manager at Ole Miss and Liberty is in his second year at the helm and calls for his firing after failing to improve upon the program's 6-6 record in 2023.
