Texas wide receiver Cam Coleman went viral this week after an insane one-handed grab that made the rounds on social media.
Coleman, who began his career at Auburn, is heralded as one of the top wide receivers in the country and is expected to be a major impact player for the Longhorns this fall.
Head coach Steve Sarkisian has also coached a wealth of talent at that position, and after displaying his hands during fall camp one former Alabama wide receiver came to mind.
“Julio Jones at Atlanta,” Sarkisian said according to Burnt Orange Nation. “Julio was similar that way, had that ability to go high point those balls the way he does and still be a vertical threat. Like, Cam can still run — he’s not a possession guy, he can run, and Julio was that way.”
Sarkisian coached Jones for one season with the Falcons from 2017-18.
But if the one highlight is a tease of what is to come from Coleman and quarterback Arch Manning then the remainder of college football should be put on notice.
