Texas Longhorns wide receiver Cam Coleman continued to generate excitement during the team's first spring practice, with head coach Steve Sarkisian highlighting Coleman's impressive skill set, work ethic, and coachability. Sarkisian noted that Coleman's willingness to be one of the hardest workers on the team sets a great example for the rest of the squad.
Why it matters
Coleman is expected to be a key contributor for the Longhorns this season, and his strong start to spring practice suggests he could be poised for a breakout year. Sarkisian's praise of Coleman's attitude and approach underscores the importance of having star players who also lead by example.
The details
During Monday's practice, Coleman showcased his strong hands and route-running ability despite the wet weather conditions. Sarkisian emphasized that Coleman's talent is matched by his work ethic and willingness to be coached, which the head coach said is crucial for the team's best players. Sarkisian added that when the team's top players are also its hardest workers, it sends a powerful message to the rest of the squad.

What they’re saying
“I think the skill set kind of speaks for itself, but I think it's the work ethic, the demeanor, his willingness to be coachable, the effort he exudes.
