Texas is coming off a dominant season-opening win over Texas State on Saturday, blowing out the Bobcats 59-7 in front of more than 100,000 raucous home fans. It was also a chance for Longhorns fans to see their new star transfer in action: sophomore wideout Cam Coleman. He didn't disappoint, putting up 70 yards and two touchdowns on just three catches, including a 44-yard connection with Arch Manning.
Coleman put his elite red-zone skills on display in his first game with the Longhorns and has clearly already developed a strong connection with Manning. Now, though, comes the real test: Saturday night against Ohio State at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium. But Coleman isn't worried.
We're coming," Coleman said of facing the Buckeyes' defense.

In 2024, he hauled in 598 yards and eight touchdowns on 37 catches, averaging 16.2 yards per catch and earning SEC All-Freshman Team honors.
Last season, he recorded 708 yards and five touchdowns on 56 catches, averaging 12.6 yards per catch. All signs point to Coleman surpassing those totals this season, now catching passes from Manning, who looks to have taken his game to another level. Against Texas State, Manning finished 20 of 27 for 305 yards and four touchdowns with one interception.
Junior receiver Ryan Wingo also had a big day, finishing with a game-high 121 yards and one touchdown on seven catches.
