We've approached a new era of college football with wide receivers being a valued position in the NIL marketplace. With that said, there are six college football playmakers at the position with a reported payout of more than $1 million. Two of them happen to be at Auburn, according to On3.
Eric Singleton arrived in the SEC ready for a breakout season. The former Georgia Tech standout is also a top earner.
"Singleton was the other top wide receiver to hit the transfer portal this offseason, leaving Georgia Tech to prove himself in the SEC," On3 reporter Pete Nakos said. "Auburn was immediately the school to watch in his portal recruitment. Sources have told On3 that he will make over $1 million this season for the Tigers."
The other was Cam Coleman, who is already making an impact for the Tigers. The former five-star could've gone anywhere in the country but wanted to stay close to home.

"Auburn has put together one of the top wide receiver rooms in the country with Coleman and Singleton," Nakos added. "Putting that together comes at a premium. Similar to Singleton, sources have told On3 that Coleman is also making north of $1 million, sources have said."
Out of the top 18 receivers on the NIL list, a majority are from the SEC. Singleton and Coleman are among the top in the conference with Texas A&M's KC Concepcion. They are all reportedly above the seven-figure mark.
