Colorado Buffaloes offensive tackle Jordan Seaton is making waves in the NCAA transfer portal. According to On3's Pete Nakos, Seaton is currently in Starkville to visit Mississippi State, where he has a strong connection with the Bulldogs' offensive line coach, Phil Loadholt. This visit could be a game-changer for head coach Jeff Lebby, who is hoping to secure one of the top players in the transfer portal.
Loadholt, who spent just one season in Boulder, has a unique connection with Seaton. He was an offensive analyst under Brent Venables at Oklahoma, where Lebby was the offensive coordinator. This shared history has led to a strong relationship between the coaches, and now they're hoping it will pay off in Seaton's recruitment.
Mississippi State has shown significant improvement under Lebby, winning an SEC game against Arkansas in 2025 after an 0-8 campaign the previous season. Despite a 5-7 overall record, the Bulldogs earned a bowl game spot due to other teams turning down invites. The program is aiming for further growth and improvement.
As for Seaton, he's a highly sought-after prospect. Nakos provides the latest intel on his status, with at least one more SEC visit expected, this time to Texas to see the Longhorns. Seaton is a four-star prospect and the top-ranked offensive tackle in the transfer portal, making him a highly desirable recruit.
Seaton's journey began at Bradenton (FL)IMG Academy, where he was a five-star prospect and the 18th-ranked recruit in the 2024 cycle. He impressed at Colorado, where he played left tackle and earned second-team All-Big 12 honors as a true freshman, before really exploding in 2025. With his talent and potential, Seaton is a player to watch in the transfer portal, and his visit to Mississippi State could be a pivotal moment in his recruitment.
