Former 4-star recruit Antonio Coleman announced he is entering the transfer portal on Thursday after one year at Auburn.

The Saraland, Ala., native signed with the Tigers last December after flipping his commitment between them and rival Alabama several times. Ranked the No. 15 defensive lineman in the 2025 class, Coleman never saw the field for the Tigers after being suspended indefinitely by then-Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze in August for a violation of team rules.

During the spring, the 6-foot-1, 256-pound Coleman worked at defensive tackle before moving back to defensive end after adding more weight.
