Jordan Seaton is an American football offensive tackle for the Colorado Buffaloes.
Early life
[edit]Seaton is from Washington, D.C.[1] He attended St. John's College High School in Washington, where he was a three-year varsity football player and was a guard and tackle.[2] He played in the FBU Freshman All-American Bowl and was named first-team All-American by MaxPreps in all three of his seasons playing for St. John's.[2] He transferred to IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, for his senior year of high school.[3][4] Seaton was ranked a five-star recruit and a top-20 prospect nationally, as well as the best offensive tackle in the nation.[5][6] He committed to play college football for the Colorado Buffaloes under coach Deion Sanders, in a move that USA Today said "shocked the college football world."[7] In committing to Colorado, he declined some name, image, and likeness (NIL) offers of over $1 million dollars.[8]
College career
[edit]Seaton won the starting left tackle role as a true freshman for Colorado in 2024, becoming the first true freshman starting tackle in Colorado history.[9] Blocking for quarterback Shedeur Sanders, he impressed in his first year with the Buffaloes.[10] In the regular season, he allowed only two sacks on 579 pass-blocking snaps, and The Athletic named him a first-team freshman All-American.[11]
