How does Cam Coleman stack up to Adonai Mitchell and Matthew Golden?

How does Cam Coleman’s start at Texas compare to Adonai Mitchell and Matthew Golden?

All three arrived with high expectations out of the transfer portal. Through his first five games, Coleman has 17 catches for 318 yards and five touchdowns on 30 targets. That puts him just three yards behind Mitchell’s five-game total, with more touchdowns than either Mitchell or Golden had at that point.

The graphic below breaks down each receiver’s first five games at Texas, including targets, catches, yards and touchdowns.

How do those numbers line up with your impression of Coleman’s start?

Good stuff, Blake.

If he catches that ball vs Ohio state the talk is a lot different about him. Say what you want about his blocking, we didn’t pay him millions to block. AD was a poor blocker too. Hopefully he can improve with his physicality but I think he’ll have a great year as long as our OL holds up and if Arch plays good.

Never did I think his numbers would mirror that of his time at Auburn, yet here we are.

Now show blocking effort. Golden smokes these two and Coleman is worse than AD.

Interesting looking at it like that. Wish he wasn't such a liability in the run and screen game.
