Texas also flipped former NC State running back Daylan “Hollywood” Smothers from Alabama after Smothers had previously committed to the Crimson Tide, On3 reported Sunday.
A former five-star recruit, Coleman played two seasons at Auburn and will join Texas for his junior season. In two seasons at Auburn, Coleman tallied 93 catches for 1,306 yards and 13 touchdowns. He led the Tigers in receiving yards and touchdowns as a sophomore with 56 catches for 708 yards and 5 touchdowns.
A 6-foot-3 athlete with speed, Coleman is a high-upside talent who could slot in as Manning’s No. 1 target next season. He projects as a potential first-round pick in the 2027 NFL Draft.

Coleman averaged 14 yards per catch at Auburn and put his big-play ability on display in a November game against Vanderbilt with 10 catches for 143 yards and a touchdown. He’s a big get for the Longhorns as they project to compete for the College Football Playoff in Manning’s second full season at starting quarterback.
Smothers, the No. 31 player in On3’s portal rankings, is a dual threat out of the backfield who tallied 1,128 yards from scrimmage and seven touchdowns at NC State last season.
