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.

Jordan: the protector of Shedeur

Colorado’s staff, especially the recruitment team, ensured that his family would be well cared for during the entire recruitment process, Jordan Seaton said. “They made my mom feel special and that meant everything to me.” He said this after an assistant coach gave him a Buffaloes blanket as he tried to commit to the Buffaloes program, proving that the program cares for him as a person, not only for football.

Last year, despite his family’s preference for privacy, Jordan celebrated his mom’s birthday. Jordan said, “Two schools wished my mother a happy birthday, and Colorado was one of them. 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. Jordan also publicly supports and encourages his younger brother, Jeremiah.

The future shines brightly for this OL

He is a top-ranked offensive lineman in the 2024 class and shines bright with his consistent hard work. He can protect quarterbacks and create significant opportunities for his team’s offense. This young man is expected to do much now that he has transitioned to Colorado. He is now a key player for the Buffaloes’ offensive line. “Joining Colorado is a step toward achieving my long-term goals,” Jordan said. He has been on the offensive line, starting in every game last season, where he allowed just two sacks in 300 snaps.

This showcases his skill and dedication to the game. “Jordan is an athletic lineman who can move well and has a high football IQ,” said his coach. With Coach Prime’s guidance and hard work, he aims to win the championship. He admires Coach Prime, as both their principles align. He plans to balance academics and athletics. The future holds a lot for this young OL.
