5-star OT Jordan Seaton visits Oregon Ducks
The visit tour of Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy five-star offensive tackle Jordan Seaton is making a stop in the Pacific Northwest this weekend.
The 6-foot-5, 295-pounder is in Eugene on an official visit to Oregon as the Ducks take on Washington State at Autzen Stadium. Seaton, the top uncommitted prospect in the 2024 class, is coming off an official visit to Florida the weekend of October 7 and has also made stops at Tennessee, Colorado and Alabama this fall.
“Being able to make a trip to my dream school is amazing first visit, but it’s not my first interaction with coaches,” Seaton told On3’s Josh Newberg about the Ducks. “Their message to me is ‘the red carpet will be laid out,’ so let’s see.’”
Oregon is one of many schools in the mix for the elite lineman. In addition to the aforementioned teams, South Carolina, Ohio State, Oklahoma and Florida State are among others interested. The Ducks are the latest team with an opportunity to make a big impression on Seaton.
“For me, it is about relationships and development,” Seaton told On3 Director of Recruiting Chad Simmons last month. “I will rely on those a lot when it comes time to pick the best school. NIL will play a small part too, and player compensation is something I am looking at, but it is not what I will base my decision on. I need to have that relationship with the coach and the staff and feel good about the environment. That is what is most important.”
Jordan Seaton Recruiting Profile
Seaton is the No. 19 overall prospect in the 2024 class, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is the nation’s No. 1 offensive tackle recruit and the No. 4 player in the Sunshine State.
He was one of the country’s biggest rankings risers over the past few months, ascending to No. 7 in the most recent On300 rankings. On3’s Scouting and Rankings Director Charles Power wrote this about what has made him such a dominant force this fall:
“Offensive tackle Jordan Seaton (No. 7) was an easy call to earn his fifth-star after turning in a very strong start. The 6-foot-5, 295-pounder transferred from Washington (D.C.) St. John’s to IMG Academy for his senior season and has shown to be the most technically advanced offensive tackle in the cycle to this point. Seaton’s high level of skill is readily apparent both on film and in person. He plays with advanced awareness and coordination. The inherent feel for leverage combines with strong hands that stymie pass rushers on contact. He plays with control and balance. We also like Seaton’s physicality and nasty on-field demeanor. We view the new five-star as a high-floor prospect with the ability to get on the field early in his college career.”
