The Auburn Tigers believe they have something special with this freshman wide receiver class.
Hugh Freeze made the 2024 class a priority and it looks like the Tigers could see some true freshmen make some plays this upcoming season. They're already impressing some Auburn returning leaders.
Wide receiver Camden Brown and cornerback Kayin Lee were two of the several players made available to the media Tuesday afternoon. Both Auburn returners had good things to say about true freshman Cam Coleman.
"He's a great player. He's mature. He's going to be good in this offense," Wide receiver Camden Brown said when asked about Coleman.
"I see a bright future for Cam Coleman. That boy is a dog," Auburn cornerback Kayin Lee said when asked about the wide receivers.
Fellow freshman wide receiver Bryce Cain has also gained the attention of Lee. "That boy can move," Lee said about Cain. "That boy (is) sly."
A season ago, the wide receiver position was a problem for Auburn as players were constantly dropping passes and not creating any separation.
These issues from last season are the reason why Coach Freeze made it a priority to add talent to this position group.
Coleman and Cain are already turning heads, and we still haven't seen the other two members of this talented receiver class, Perry Thompson or Malcolm Simmons, yet.
All four of these players will have an early impact and should make the lives of the quarterbacks easier as they throw to weapons that will be able to create separation and widen passing lanes.
