Coach Prime’s Influence Reigns Supreme as Jordan Seaton’s Signing Demolishes Serious Doubts Over Leadership

Coach Prime Deion Sanders is trying his best to make the Colorado Buffaloes shine in their next season. But it has been tough going for him, especially with many recruits de-committing from Colorado. But he’s heaved a sigh of relief with by bagging an elite 5-star recruit – offensive tackle Jordan Seaton. 

The addition of the 5-star OT to Colorado has a chance to boost the team’s offense. A former Washington DC IMG Academy player, Jordan Seaton declared his commitment to Coach Prime’s Buffaloes on Thursday morning on Undisputed. He has several elite teams that he could join but he argues that there is one thing that Colorado has that no other teams have. 

No. 1 OT Jordan Seaton commits to Colorado

As college football head coaches hunt for the best players now, Coach Prime has gotten one of the best picks of the season to commit to Colorado. Seaton is the No. 1 offensive tackle in the nation according to 247Sports. A recent Twitter post reads, “The No. 1 OT in ’24 chose the Buffaloes over Tennessee, Oregon, Florida, & Ohio State.” 

Jordan Seaton is the final 5-star 2024 prospect who interestingly chose a struggling program rather than settle with leading teams like Alabama and Florida. Standing at 6’5″, he is the No. 15 overall player in the 2024 class. He’s confident in changing Colorado for the better when he said, “I’m coming to not only block for the Heisman contender, I’m showing you wherever you go the work must get put in regardless.” 

With so many other teams approaching him, Seaton also revealed that his biggest reason for choosing the Buffs is Coach Prime. Seaton’s recruitment could lead to many other top-notch recruits making their way to Boulder soon.

Jordan Seaton has a deep affinity for Coach Prime

One of the top reasons why Jordan Seaton chose Colorado over several other leading programs is because of Deion Sanders. Even in the past, he has revealed that Boulder can offer something the rest of the teams can’t. He said, “My favorite thing about that program is probably the head coach. He’s a gold jacket. He knows what it looks like.”
