Grace Raynor and Sam Khan Jr.<\/a>\u00a0of The Athletic reported that the Longhorns were the first to host Coleman on an official visit, and he later took visits to Texas A&M, Texas Tech and Alabama. In the end, Texas landed arguably the biggest prize of the offseason so far.<\/p>\n“Best player in the portal,” a Power 4 general manager said of Coleman, per Raynor and Khan. “He’s a freak. The numbers aren’t what you’d expect because of (Auburn’s) quarterback play, but he’s an absolute difference maker.”<\/p>\n
The Longhorns will now have one of the best receiving tandems in all of college football in Coleman and returning leading receiver Ryan Wingo, who has recorded 83 catches for 1,306 yards and nine touchdowns in two years.<\/p>\n
Manning had a solid first year as the full-time starter for Texas, and having Coleman on the outside with Wingo should help him ascend even further in 2026. The young signal-caller threw for 3,163 yards, 26 touchdowns and seven interceptions while adding 399 rushing yards and 10 more scores.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Texas landed one of the most coveted players in the transfer portal, and returning starting quarterback Arch Manning…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":404735,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[399,398,396,397,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-404734","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-ncaa","10":"tag-ncaa-football","11":"tag-ncaafootball","12":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/404734","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=404734"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/404734\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/404735"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=404734"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=404734"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=404734"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
