Star LT Jordan Seaton sends a warning to opponents that will fire Colorado fans up

Perhaps no single player has changed the outlook of the present and the future of the Colorado football program than Jordan Seaton. The 6-foot-5, 330-pound left tackle was the No. 1 OT in the 2024 recruiting class and a consensus 5-star prospect.

Seaton was considered a Tennessee lean for a long time before pulling off a shocking commitment to Colorado in December. It took him little time to make an impact, stepping in as a day one starter for the Buffaloes at left tackle.

Seaton was a freshman All-American and enters the 2025 season on the shortlist of best offensive tackles in college football. He's already generating major draft buzz for the 2027 class. While Colorado's offensive line still had its struggles last season, it took a mini-leap from the porous performance of the 2023 unit, helping the Buffaloes make a five-win improvement from 2023 to 2024.

Now, Seaton looks to key an even bigger jump forward in 2025. Deion Sanders did excellent work in the Transfer Portal to add additional talent on the offensive line around the former 5-star prospect, and now what was once a major weakness could turn into a strength in Boulder. Seaton certainly thinks so, and he's not afraid to let everyone know it.

Jordan Seaton is confident in Colorado's offensive line

You have to love that kind of confidence from Colorado's unquestioned alpha up front. Reports out of fall camp have indicated the offensive line is much improved this season.

Coach Prime added three guys to the interior of Colorado's offensive line via the Transfer Portal with a plethora of starting experience. LG Xavier Hill from Memphis (26 starts), C Zarian McGill from Louisiana Tech (27 starts), and RG Zy Crisler from Illinois (27 starts) bring a combined 80 starts up front, giving the Buffaloes their most experienced and talented offensive line of the Deion Sanders era.

There remains competition at right tackle between last season's starter - Phillip Houston - and Tennessee transfer Larry Johnson III. Regardless of who wins the job, Coach Prime has mentioned that they are confident with around eight guys on the offensive line right now, which is a major improvement from the last two seasons.

It should allow Colorado to be much better on the ground this season. The Buffs finished last in the FBS a year ago in rushing yards per game, but with a better offensive line, talented running backs, and a dual-threat QB in Kaidon Salter with over 2000 career rushing yards, they should take a major leap this season.
