Sarkisian Compares Texas Transfer Cam Coleman to Julio Jones After Viral One‑Handed Catch

The coach's firsthand comparison frames Coleman as Texas's primary outside threat, an early 2027 draft prospect.

Overview

  • A one‑handed catch by Cam Coleman from a Texas practice was posted on the program's social account and quickly went viral, renewing attention on the rookie Longhorn receiver.
  • Coach Steve Sarkisian praised Coleman's catch radius, balance, body control and hands when discussing the clip, calling the play 'crazy' and inspecting the gloves in disbelief.
  • Sarkisian drew a direct comparison to Julio Jones, a player he coached in Atlanta, citing similar ability to win contested high passes while remaining a vertical threat.
  • Coleman arrived at Texas via the transfer portal after two productive seasons at Auburn, where he totaled 1,306 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns and had a 2025 season with 56 catches for 708 yards.
  • The praise and viral practice film have elevated Coleman's profile as Texas's likely top outside target and an early 2027 NFL draft name to watch, though a full competitive season is needed to confirm his draft standing.
