The transition that turned Jordan Seaton into Shedeur Sanders’ on-field protector began long ago. Picture this: A Friday night high school football match, Seaton, who is much taller than everybody else, more often than not, makes space for his quarterback. Football scouts keenly observe the happenings in a bid to sign the prospect. After receiving attention from big programs like Ohio State, Jordan preferred to pledge to the Colorado Buffaloes to become a part of Deion Sanders’ team.
He committed to the Buffs because of Coach Prime and how they welcomed him as a family. While details about his parents remain little, it is safe to assume that his family is his support system. Jordan’s progression in football and his passion for the Colorado team are tales of passion and bonds.

It’s the little things like that which stand out to me.” Jordan doesn’t involve his mom in his recruitment decisions but appreciates the small gestures.
