Auburn gains commitment from 5-star receiver Cam Coleman
Auburn football has added a major addition to its 2024 recruiting class as 5-star receiver Cam Coleman has flipped his commitment from Texas A&M to the Tigers.
Coleman, out of Central High School in Phenix City, Alabama, is rated as the third-best wide receiver in the 2024 class and the No. 7 overall player by the 247Sports Composite rankings.
The 6-foot-3-inch, 180-pound receiver is the state of Alabama’s top player for the 2024 recruiting class. Coleman joins 5-star Perry Thompson and 4-star Bryce Cain as the wide receivers committed to Freeze’s program for the next recruiting class, with 4-star athlete Malcolm Simmons also expected to play receiver.
Coleman and Thompson are the two highest-rated players in Auburn’s class. Coleman has become the highest-rated recruit on offense in Auburn history, surpassing 2010 class member Michael Dyer. Auburn previously had just one 5-star receiver commit in its history — the Tigers have two in the class of 2024.
Auburn’s class now ranks No. 11 nationally and fourth in the SEC, sixth if including future SEC members Texas and Oklahoma, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings.

What influenced Kensley Faustin’s decision to attend Auburn?
Auburn has a lot of talented defensive backs in its 2024 recruiting class. Among them is Kensley Faustin. What led Faustin to decide on Auburn?
Auburn’s 2024 recruiting class will be an important one in determining how successful Hugh Freeze ends up being as the program’s head coach. The class includes multiple talented defensive backs. One of them is Kensley Faustin. Faustin, a safety from Naples, Florida, committed to Auburn in June. According to 247Sports, Faustin is a 4-star safety with a 0.8917 composite rating. He is the No. 440 player in the class, the No. 45 safety and the No. 58 player in the state of Florida.
“Just the tradition and the environment,” Faustin said on what made him decide to choose Auburn. “The coaching staff knows what they’re doing. I like the fact that they will use me and the fact that I will play early.” Faustin talked about Hugh Freeze and what he likes about the idea of playing for him. “I like that he’s an honest man,” Faustin said. “He tells you straight up, he doesn’t try to sugarcoat everything. When I committed he said we’ve got work to do.”
Faustin had the opportunity to attend the Iron Bowl. He mentioned how unique it felt to be a part of that environment.
“That environment was one-of-a-kind,” stated Faustin. “It’s an experience that you only get one time and to be a part of that was just a blessing.”
The athletes in the 2024 class will have an impact on Freeze’s Auburn tenure. Faustin is one of the players who can make a difference.
