The Battle for Jordan Seaton: A Top Transfer Talent on the Move
In a highly anticipated development, former Colorado offensive tackle Jordan Seaton is set to visit the LSU Tigers, adding fuel to the fire of an already intense transfer portal season. Seaton, ranked as the second-best available player in the NCAA transfer portal, has become the crown jewel that every team desires. But here's where it gets controversial: with Lane Kiffin at the helm, LSU is aiming to build an elite class in Baton Rouge, and Seaton's visit could be a game-changer.
LSU's offensive line underwent a challenging transition year, losing both tackles to the NFL Draft. Even without a coaching change, the Tigers needed upgrades across the board. Kiffin has made it clear that the offensive line is a priority, and Seaton's addition would undoubtedly be a massive boost.
When it comes to the quarterback position, LSU has already secured three quarterbacks through the portal. Former Arizona State star Sam Leavitt is the frontrunner to start, but Kiffin has also brought in Husan Longstreet from USC and Landen Clark from Elon. Kiffin's track record of finding the right talent at the quarterback position is impressive.
However, the competition for Seaton's signature is fierce. The Miami Hurricanes and Mississippi State Bulldogs have already hosted Seaton, and other suitors are expected to join the race. On3's Pete Nakos provided an update on Saturday morning, shedding light on the current situation.
Seaton's Journey: From Colorado to a New Home
Jordan Seaton, a highly regarded four-star prospect, is ranked as the No. 5 overall player to enter the transfer portal this cycle. His skills as an offensive tackle are unmatched, as evidenced by his ranking above all other players at his position. Colorado secured Seaton's commitment ahead of the 2024 season, a massive recruiting win for head coach Deion Sanders.
Seaton made an immediate impact, starting at left tackle and protecting quarterback Shedeur Sanders. His true freshman campaign showed glimpses of his potential, but it was in 2025 that he truly exploded onto the scene. Quality performances earned him a spot on the second-team All-Big 12.
Seaton's high school career at Bradenton (FL) IMG Academy was impressive, earning him a Five-Star Plus+ rating. He was the No. 18 overall recruit in the 2024 cycle, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, a weighted average of the top four recruiting media companies.
