ESPN Ranks New LSU OT Jordan Seaton As Top 10 Transfer Portal Player

ESPN's updated list of the best players in the college football transfer portal ranked new LSU offensive tackle Jordan Seaton at No. 4.

4. Jordan Seaton, OT
Transferring from: Colorado
Transferring to: LSU
Years remaining: 2
HT: 6-5 | WT: 330 | Class: Sophomore

Background: The former five-star was a monumental recruiting victory for coach Deion Sanders and Colorado and one of the highest-rated signees in program history. Seaton, the No. 1 offensive tackle in the 2024 ESPN 300, lived up to expectations as a two-year starter at left tackle for the Buffaloes and earned second-team All-Big 12 honors as a sophomore after surrendering just three pressures and zero sacks in pass protection, according to ESPN Research. It's extremely rare to see a potential first-round draft pick at left tackle enter the transfer portal, but Seaton is leaving Boulder and making a big move ahead of his junior season.

Scout's take: Seaton possesses rare range and mobility for his size. He is an aggressive run blocker with the quickness to reach linebackers and pull. His quickness, foot speed and frame make him an effective zone blocker. He drives defenders and blocks to the whistle once in position. Seaton still needs to refine hand technique and consistency as a run blocker, but will make his money on Sundays protecting the QB. He's smooth kicking out of his pass set and meeting edge rushers. He can shoot his hands, lock on and stay in front. He's athletic, can bend and possesses the traits to even get better in pass pro. Seaton is a potential first-round pick with more consistency. -- Muench

What he brings to LSU: The Tigers' No. 1 ranked portal class got even stronger when Seaton chose to play for Lane Kiffin and his staff over Miami, Oregon and Mississippi State. He's a big-time addition to an offensive line that required a major overhaul during the January portal window with the addition of eight incoming transfers.
