Eric Singleton Jr. and Cam Coleman named to Biletnikoff Award watch list
Auburn is poised for a big year offensively with two receivers on the Biletnikoff Award watch list.
It is watch list season and a couple of Auburn wide receivers are catching notice. Both Eric Singleton Jr. and Cam Coleman were named to the 2025 Biletnikoff Award watch list on Wednesday. The award began in 1994, and an Auburn wide receiver has never taken home the honor. Both Singleton and Coleman will look to change that on what should be an improved offense.
This season will be the first with the Tigers for Singleton. He played his first two seasons for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets from the ACC. Over those two years, Singleton caught 104 passes for 1,468 yards and nine touchdowns. He entered the transfer portal as the top-rated receiver before heading to Auburn. Pro Football Focus has Singleton ranked as their No. 24 prospect for the 2026 NFL Draft. They see Singleton as a player that can hit a home run at any point due to his track speed. A receiver that can take the top off a defense is exactly what the Tigers offense will need for new quarterback Jackson Arnold.
Anyone who follows Auburn football knows that Coleman is capable of. They knew it when he was putting up big numbers not too far away at Central Phenix City playing high school football. His freshman season for Auburn started out slowly, but he was playing at a high level as the 2024 season ended. Last season, Coleman caught 37 passes for 598 yards and eight touchdowns in ten games played. In the final three games of the season, he caught 22 passes for 306 yards and five touchdowns. In his first seven games, Coleman had just 15 receptions for 292 yards and three touchdowns. Auburn fans are hoping he can continue how he finished the 2024 season.
It will be interesting and fun to see if both Singleton and Coleman are able to stay on the watchlist throughout the season. However, they are not the only capable receivers on the team. Sophomore Malcolm Simmons is a talented player, and Perry Thompson has the potential to make an impact as well. The passing game should flourish with this group of receivers this season.
