Could it really be happening?
After visiting Texas, Texas Tech, and Texas A&M, former Auburn star WR has officially arrived in Tuscaloosa for a visit with Alabama. What once felt like a pipe dream is beginning to look more like a reality.
NEW: Auburn transfer WR Cam Coleman has arrived in Tuscaloosa for his Alabama visit, @PeteNakos reports🐘

Alabama has a shot at landing one of the top overall players in the portal, adding Coleman to a WR room alongside Ryan Williams and Lotzeir Brooks, giving the Tide arguably the best starting trio in the country.
Iron Bowl transfers are rare, but they do happen. Perhaps Coleman can chat with former Auburn-turned-Alabama star guard Aden Holloway while he's in Tuscaloosa and can learn how beneficial his decision was for him.
Upon the news of Coleman's arrival in Tuscaloosa for his visit, Auburn fans have predictably begun crashing out. You truly hate to see that.
Auburn fans are having a tough time imagining Cam Coleman in crimson
Waiting till this weekend to make fun of them to make sure this doesn’t mean Cam is going there https://t.co/IhXGf1UYs0

The first real signal that Coleman-to-Alabama was a significant possibility was Isaiah Horton's decision to enter the Transfer Portal on Thursday. That brought the need, and freed up the capital to potentially make it happen.
This Auburn fan may thank himself later for waiting to dance on Alabama's misfortune if things go well with Coleman this weekend.
You better not 🤬 https://t.co/BrW9Djx0w4

It's best to just accept what's coming.

Auburn's entire team transferred in from USF, but sure. And I don't remember any Auburn fans complaining when former Alabama DB Antonio Kite transferred to Auburn in 2024. Or back when Corey Grant did the same over a decade ago.
Hypocrisy goes hand-in-hand at the Barn.
Kid gonna fumble with the game on the line in the Iron Bowl then enters the portal and has the nerve to visit Bama?😂 Yeah enjoy this lifetime hatewatch https://t.co/tX1qwEwpDz

They are turning on him in real time. In fairness to Coleman, Auburn was losing the Iron Bowl long before he got to campus.
Man oh man the current state of CFB 🤣 https://t.co/rtOFQr6DuD pic.twitter.com/mqhv6dcUPg

These are the same folks who were happy with the state of football when Nick Saban retired, and Alabama's roster was pillaged. Tough to see the shoe switch feet.
Don’t even think about it, Cam. https://t.co/J9Cwj7xtd6

Oh, he's more than thinking about it, Carol.

Not the best comp. Kevin Durant left one title contender for another. Coleman is potentially leaving a bottom-feeder for a contender. This is what's called an upgrade.
hope that's the case. he better not pull an aden holloway

Mr. 25 followers has the scoop, no doubt. And why not pull a Holloway? It worked out good for him!
I’m fine with Cam Coleman leaving , just don’t go to Bama.

Imagine if Luke had grabbed his father's hand in Empire...
They'd have been as powerful as a Ryan Williams-Cam Coleman WR duo.
