The Texas Longhorns clearly showed that they are "all in" for the 2025 season by landing a commitment from Auburn transfer wide receiver Cam Coleman on Sunday after a competitive recruitment.

The Longhorns have already retained Emmett Mosley V while Ryan Wingo is also expected to return for his junior year.

These three will command most of the targets from Manning next season in what projects to be a high-powered passing offense.

It's worth noting that the Longhorns could still end up losing a few depth pieces to the portal, as Coleman's addition now changes things. But for now, here is what the pecking order looks like at wide receiver:

Note: The Longhorns could potentially move Michael Terry III back to wide receiver after trying him out at running back this past season. For now, we'll list him as a receiver.

Wingo operated as Texas' No. 1 wide receiver for most of this season but will now have a major load taken off of his shoulders with the addition of Coleman. He delivered some explosive plays for

Mosley V ended up proving to be Texas' most sure-handed wide receiver. He missed the first four games of the season due to injury before coming up big in SEC play, highlighted by his two-touchdown performance against Mississippi State in which he caught the game-winning score in overtime.

The Longhorns also have some exciting young players behind their top three receivers. McCutcheon impressed the coaching staff as a true freshman this season, making his first-career catch on the road against Ohio State. Additionally, Lockett came up big in the Citrus Bowl against Michigan, catching the go-ahead 30-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter.

Texas will also be welcoming incoming true freshman Jermaine Bishop, who has the ability to play on both sides of the ball at the collegiate level. Many Longhorn fans want to see him get playing time right away next season but time will tell how exactly things will shape out in that regard.

Manning now has a slew of options to choose from in the passing game next season. After getting off to a rocky start in 2025, he came alive during the second half of the year, and the Longhorns can once again direct their attention toward contending for a national championship.
