Elite OT Jordan Seaton sets Colorado visit

A week after making a surprise visit to Alabama for the Crimson Tide’s game against Texas, elite Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy offensive tackle Jordan Seaton will be taking an unofficial visit to Colorado.

Seaton, the No. 23 overall prospect in the 2024 On300, told On3’s Josh Newberg that he will be making a trip out to Boulder to visit head coach Deion Sanders and the Buffaloes for their game against rival Colorado State on Sept. 16.

“My impression was they can play ball,” Seaton said after Colorado’s win over TCU. “And not to everybody just to brag or not, but that boy Travis Hunter is the real deal, and hopefully I can block for Shedeur Sanders one day. Maybe it might not be now, it could be in the league also. But he’s going to go also.”

As for whether Colorado has a shot in Seaton’s recruitment?

“They kind of came a little bit later in my recruitment process, but they’ve got a shot,” Seaton said. “They always have a shot. It’s Prime, you can’t say no.”

As for future visits, Seaton told Newberg last week that he still plans to make trips to Florida, Ohio State, Oregon, South Carolina and Oklahoma. Only the Sooners were set in stone, with plans to make a visit Sept. 30 for Oklahoma’s game against Iowa State.

Seaton’s lone official visit thus far came back in June, when he visited Alabama. He made it to Tuscaloosa again last weekend, where he told BamaOnLine that the visit “put everything into perspective.”

Jordan Seaton Scouting Summary

“Polished offensive tackle who is one of the more battle-tested prospects at the position in the 2024 cycle. Measured at over 6-foot-5, 295 pounds prior to his senior season. Has a big frame and plus length for the position with arm length over 34 inches and a verified 10.75-inch hand. Dropped considerable weight as a junior after previously weighing over 330 pounds. Technically sound and well-rounded from a skill perspective. Looks ahead of the curve in pass protection. Flashes good reactive quickness. Understands pass rush plans and works to neutralize rushers.

“Uses his redirect skills to mirror and quick, strong hands to neutralize at the point of attack. Drops his weight and anchors on contact. Also show some physicality and nastiness as a run blocker. Looks to move much better as a junior with the weight loss. Lined up at left tackle for St. John’s College and faced top competition on a weekly basis. Transferred to IMG Academy for his senior season. Does not have positive athletic markers other than film. Can also continue to improve his ankle flexion. Overall polish and experience against top competition makes him one of the more ready-to-play offensive linemen in the cycle.”
