Muhammad Hashir
Coleman and Singleton Jr are two of the most dynamic receiving wideouts in the entire college football field, and they have officially signed NIL deals with Nike. Auburn’s agreement is a big step forward as it begins its first full season with the sportswear giant after 10 years with Under Armour.
Coleman and Singleton Move to Nike
Nike promoted the pair on social media, where the brand welcomed them. The tagline used in the posting of Coleman was ” 8 days a week, which was his number in the jersey, and Singleton’s was ” Always on the hunt. The deals are a significant move in both directions for the athletes and match them to one of the most iconic sports brands in the world.
This action is a result of Auburn switching to Nike on July 1, following its signing of a 10-year agreement in April 2024. The Tigers are currently starting the inaugural complete season with the new apparel agreement.
On-Field Performance
Although Auburn’s commencement of the offense has been somewhat troubled this season, both receivers are at their best. The team is headed by Singleton, who has 27 receptions with a 265-yard average of 53 yards per game and 9.8 yards per catch and two touchdowns. Coleman is right behind with 17 catches of 255 yards with an average of 51 yards per game and 15 yards per reception, with 2015 touchdowns.
Coleman is a Five-Star+ recruit of Phenix City, and he is in his second year at Auburn. He was a real freshman last year and had 37 catches for 598 yards and eight TDs, which was second on the team, behind KeAndre Lambert-Smith. During his 16 career, Coleman has accumulated 54 receptions with 853 yards and 10 touchdowns.
In the meantime, Singleton was ranked as the best wide receiver in the 2025 transfer portal and transferred to Auburn this season. He has played two seasons at Georgia Tech and has 1,608 yards of scrimmage with 10 offensive TDs and 1,849 all-purpose yards with kick returns.
Big Stage Ahead
The NIL deals are timely because Coleman and Singleton are likely to shine in tomorrow’s marquee game of Auburn against No. 10 Georgia at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Their initial outings under the Nike brand are sure to attract interest both on and off the field.
This contract solidifies Auburn as one of the brightest up-and-coming talents in the NIL era. Their talent on the field is matched by the presence of a global brand.
