Social media reacts to Jordan Seaton finally signing with Colorado

At long last, Jordan Seaton is officially a Colorado Buffalo

At long last, Jordan Seaton is officially a Colorado Buffalo.

The five-star offensive tackle signed his national letter of intent on Friday during the waning hours of the early signing period, as confirmed by Rivals. Reports had emerged earlier this week that Maryland was making a late push to land Seaton, but the top-ranked OT in the 2024 class ultimately stayed true to his Colorado commitment.

As things currently stand, Seaton should be considered the favorite to start at left tackle next season for head coach Deion Sanders.

Here’s how social media reacted to Seaton making things official with Colorado on the final day of the early signing period:

Colorado commit (?) Jordan Seaton may not be committed to Deion Sanders anymore

Jordan Seaton remains un-signed and perhaps un-committed.

The recruitment of Jordan Seaton will continue, with the five-star offensive tackle not signing on Wednesday with Colorado and head coach Deion Sanders, as had been the plan.

The consensus top recruit offensive lineman in the nation, Seaton committed to Colorado two weeks ago in an appearance on FS1’s ‘Undisputed.’ Now, Seaton’s recruitment is very much up in the air, including a cryptic social media post on Tuesday night that now seems to be indicative of the offensive lineman’s decision being stretched out further.

He is the No. 11 prospect in the nation by 247Sports.

The landing of Seaton was an impressive and meaningful recruiting battle for Sanders as he went head-to-head with some of the best programs in the nation to land the offensive tackle. It will be fascinating – and perhaps telling – to see if Sanders can land Seaton now a second time in as many weeks.

Maryland and Oregon are reported to be involved now with Seaton. The Ducks have been impressive in the early signing period with a couple of high-profile flips on Wednesday.

Seaton has not posted on social media since Tuesday when he had his cryptic tweet:

 

At 6-foot-5 and 287 pounds, Seaton is coming off a strong season for IMG Academy (Bradenton, Florida). IMG finished fifth in the nation in the USA TODAY HSS Super 25.

 

REPORT: Maryland making late push to flip five-star Colorado OL commit Jordan Seaton

REPORT: Maryland is making a late push to steal five-star OL Jordan Seaton from Colorado

As of this writing, five-star offensive lineman Jordan Seaton has yet to make things official with Colorado.

It’s still too early for Buffs fans to panic, but it would be nice to see arguably the most important commit of Deion Sanders’ 2024 class ink his national letter of intent during this early signing period.

However, at 9:40 a.m. MT on Wednesday, Steve Wiltfong of 247Sports reported that Maryland hosted Seaton this past weekend. Terrapins head football coach Mike Locksley has been “recruiting Seaton for nearly four years and the DMV (D.C., Maryland, Virginia) native is thinking about playing closer to home,” Wiltfong wrote.

Again, I don’t think it’s time to panic yet, but Wiltfong’s report isn’t exactly welcomed news.

Here’s how social media has reacted:

5 recruits that Alabama could flip on early national signing day

There is always room to be made for flipping some of the nation’s top prospects. On Wednesday, the Crimson Tide are hoping that several prospects will flip their commitments from other programs and sign with Alabama.

The wheels are always churning for the Alabama coaching staff on the recruiting trail. There is always work to be done.

In recent years, Alabama fans have realized that enough is never enough. Well, that is how it seems to the fans at least. The coaching staff continues to work effortlessly to flip some of the nation’s top recruits.

In 2023’s recruiting cycle, Alabama was able to flip five-star edge rusher Keon Keeley, five-star offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor, and three-star offensive guard Roq Montgomery.

Now, the Crimson Tide are working the phone lines with hopes of flipping several more recruits in the 2024 recruiting cycle.

Roll Tide Wire takes a look at five recruits that Alabama could potentially flip on early national signing day.

Jordan Seaton vows to keep Shedeur Sanders upright in 2024

Jordan Seaton gave a great response when asked about Shedeur Sanders being the most-sacked quarterback in college football

The Colorado football program entered the offseason needing to make additions to the offensive line.

Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders was sacked way too much this past season, and getting that fixed should be the biggest priority for head coach Deion Sanders and his new-look coaching staff.

On Thursday, the Buffs added five-star offensive tackle Jordan Seaton, who represents a massive step in the right direction for the Buffs.

He made his announcement on FS1’s “Undisputed,” sharing that he wants to keep Shedeur from being the most-sacked signal-caller in college football: “That will never happen again,” Seaton said on “Undisputed.”

It’s an encouraging statement from Seaton and one that Buffs fans should be happy about.

There are a lot of new faces in Boulder, but Seaton is wasting no time sharing his expectations for 2024.

Tony’s Take: What Jordan Seaton’s commitment means for Colorado

By landing Jordan Seaton, Coach Prime proved that he can recruit more than just skill players

Everyone knew that head coach Deion Sanders took the Colorado job intending to bring the Buffs back to national prominence. Then, after a 4-8 first season, you could sense that some doubt had crept into the minds of many.

But after news dropped on Thursday — about one year to the day of Coach Prime’s introductory press conference – that 2024 five-star offensive tackle Jordan Seaton committed to Colorado, a resurgence of belief lit up Buff Nation. Sanders once again proved that he could bring the best talent to Boulder. And this time, it was at a position group in which some college football analysts claimed he couldn’t recruit.

The Buffs’ roster rebuild is far from complete, but Seaton represents a crucial piece to the puzzle. His arrival has brought energy and confidence back into Colorado’s fanbase after a rough final stretch to Coach Prime’s first season.

Jordan Seaton, a 5-star offensive tackle, commits to Colorado football

Jordan Seaton made a shocking pick for Colorado football.

Rumors of head coach Deion Sanders’ demise appear to have been greatly exaggerated. Thursday’s commitment from five-star offensive lineman Jordan Seaton is further proof that Colorado football, despite a rough for weeks, is still quite the force to be reckoned with.

Seaton, a 6-foot-5, 295-pound offensive lineman from No. 4 IMG Academy (Bradenton, Florida), is the No. 19 recruit in the nation according to ESPN. He was the highest-ranked player in the nation who was un-committed.

He picked Colorado from a stacked offer list that included Alabama, Ohio State and Tennessee among others.

Moving well and lightly on his feet, Seaton is able to slide and plant very well. He has some nuance to his blocking and quick hands that allow him to adjust almost effortlessly to any kind of a rush.

Seaton has good power and strength but also has a frame that could easily blossom in the Colorado strength and conditioning program.

In the last few weeks, Colorado has been hit with questions about the direction of their program. After a strong start to their first season under Sanders, Colorado stumbled and finished 4-8 with six straight losses to close out the season.

 

A couple of recruits in the 2024 class de-committed and several starters entered the transfer portal this past week.

But landing Seaton certainly gets some of the mojo back for Colorado.

Where Colorado’s 2024 class ranks nationally in average player rating following Jordan Seaton’s commitment

Colorado’s 2024 class is now ranked in the top 15 nationally in terms of average player rating

Colorado’s 2024 recruiting class received a significant talented boost on Thursday when five-star offensive tackle Jordan Seaton shocked the college football world by announcing his commitment to the Buffs. With an impressive 247Sports Composite rating of .9940, Seaton is set to become the third highest-rated signee in CU football history.

Head coach Deion Sanders now has 10 class of 2024 commits, but that number could easily rise now that the Seaton domino has fallen in Colorado’s favor. Coach Prime and the Buffs currently have just under two weeks until the early signing period begins on Dec. 20.

See below where Colorado’s 2024 average talent rating ranks nationally, according to 247Sports:

Colorado 5-star OL Jordan Seaton channeled Deion Sanders with bold recruitment speech

“You claim you’re a dog, why you not coming to Colorado?”

Jordan Seaton has a message to all future recruits.

The Colorado Buffaloes captivated the college football world this year when they hired Deion Sanders. An NFL legend, Sanders brought national attention to the program with his witty quotes and larger-than-life-personality.

Unfortunately, the notoriety did not translate to many wins. After winning their first three matchups, the team lost eight of their remaining nine games. Part of the reason those losses were so harsh on the team is that they got beat in the trenches.

So, it makes sense that they nabbed a five-star offensive lineman from IMG Academy named Jordan Seaton. Jordan announced his decision to play at Colorado on Thursday during an episode of Fox Sports’ Undisputed.

But it didn’t come without head-turning questions to anyone looking for somewhere to play.

Never count Deion Sanders out of a recruiting race.

Despite removing Colorado from his list of top schools earlier this week, five-star offensive tackle Jordan Seaton shocked the college football world on Thursday when he gave his commitment to Coach Prime. Seaton is now the highest-rated member of the Buffaloes’ 2024 recruiting class, which currently holds 10 commits ahead of the looming early signing day.

He’ll have to earn it, but Seaton should be considered the favorite to start at left tackle for Colorado next season. Many have even dubbed the 6-foot-5, 287-pound prospect as “The Savior.”
