5-star OT Jordan Seaton sets Ohio State official visit

Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy five-star offensive tackle Jordan Seaton has set an Ohio State official visit for this weekend, he announced on social media.

The elite offensive tackle was originally scheduled to visit Columbus in November as the Buckeyes hosted Michigan State, but had to cancel due to a Saturday practice.

Seaton recently named a list of top schools that includes Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, Ohio State, Oregon and Tennessee.

Coaches are allowed to hit the road to visit recruits beginning today, per NCAA recruiting rules. Florida and Tennessee, two schools that already received official visits from Seaton, are expected to visit him right off the bat according to On3 Director of Recruiting Chad Simmons.

Seaton is the top uncommitted prospect in the 2024 On300. On3 rates him higher than every other major recruiting service as the No. 6 overall recruit in the class.

He is the nation’s No. 16 overall prospect in the 2024 cycle according to the On3 Industry Ranking — a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. Seaton is the cycle’s No. 1 offensive tackle and No. 4 recruit from Florida.

Seaton has an On3 NIL Valuation of $243,000. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

Jordan Seaton Scouting Summary

On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings Charles Power writes this about Seaton as a prospect:

“Jordan Seaton is a 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.”
