Family connection helps Ohio State in recruitment of offensive lineman Jordan Seaton

It’s nothing major, but anything that helps in recruiting. #GoBucks

As the high school season has begun, prospects are starting to figure out their official visit schedules, and [autotag]Ohio State football[/autotag] will get New Jersey native [autotag]Jordan Seaton[/autotag] to visit in October.

Seaton will visit when Maryland is in town, and according to a report by 247Sports Brian Dohn, a family connection could help the Buckeyes. The 6-foot, 5-inch, 285-pound lineman is very familiar with Ohio State’s program, and he has been able to get some inside knowledge from former Ohio State offensive lineman, Paris Johnson Jr.

The first-round selection’s father and Seaton’s uncle are friends, which will not push the Buckeyes over the edge, but it can’t hurt. The No. 1 interior offensive lineman and 39th overall player on the 247Sports composite, told Dohn he likes Ohio State due to the “passing offense that they run. I like to be out in space. I like to show guys I can make. And (offensive line) coach (Justin) Frye. He can develop.”

Johnson Jr. knows about the development, even though he was a five-star prospect coming out of high school. We all know that doesn’t always mean you are a shoo-in to get drafted early. On top of that, the great reviews that Dawand Jones is receiving, Frye can develop.

Hopefully theses factors help push Seaton toward the Buckeyes in the end.
