Portal Buzz: Cam Coleman Visits Austin as Running Back Exodus Continues
AUSTIN — The transfer portal window is in full swing, and for the Texas Longhorns, Saturday brings a mix of high-stakes recruiting and continued roster attrition.
Cam Coleman on Campus
The headline of the weekend is the arrival of Cam Coleman. The former five-star wide receiver from Auburn is in Austin for a pivotal visit. Coleman is widely considered one of the top playmakers available in the portal and would be an immediate game-changer for Quinn Ewers (or Arch Manning) in 2026.
Coleman’s unmatched size and athleticism make him the perfect replacement for the departing DeAndre Moore Jr., and landing him would be a massive early win for the new offensive staff structure.
The RB Crisis Deepens
While excitement builds around Coleman, the situation in the backfield has turned critical. Tre Wisner, who emerged as a reliable weapon late in the season, has officially entered the transfer portal.
Wisner joins a staggering list of running backs leaving Austin this week:
- CJ Baxter
- Jerrick Gibson
- Rickey Stewart
- Tre Wisner
With these departures, Jaydon Blue remains as the only scholarship running back with significant experience on the roster. New Running Backs Coach Jabbar Juluke has his work cut out for him, as adding experienced bodies to this room is now an emergency priority.
