Jordan Seaton is leaving Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes in search of greener pastures. He’s one of the top prospects available in the transfer portal at the moment, being ranked as the top offensive tackle and the fourth-best overall player available in the transfer portal. 247Sports has him as a five-star transfer.
Seaton is expected to get around $4-6 million in NIL money, which narrows down the schools that could get him. Here are the top schools that should be in the running for Jordan Seaton.
Top 5 Potential Landing Spots For Jordan Seaton
#5 Ohio State Buckeyes
This list will be full of heavy hitters due to how much money the player is asking. Hence, we start strong with the Ohio State Buckeyes. The team isn’t as in need of a player like Jordan Seaton as other schools, but they potentially have the resources, and they were one of the finalists to recruit him out of school. They’re always on the market for elite talent.
#4 LSU Tigers
With Lane Kiffin in Baton Rouge, the mandate for the LSU Tigers is clear: win a national title. According to some reports, Jordan Seaton has already scheduled a visit to the school on January 15. Seaton would perfectly fit Kiffin’s offensive scheme, and they need to protect their new quarterback, Sam Leavitt, who already suffered lots of punishment in 2025 with the Arizona State Sun Devils.
#3 Miami Hurricanes
While Miami hasn’t found its quarterback for the future just yet, with Carson Beck heading to the NFL, they know their overhaul of the offense will have to be more profound than just a new signal-caller. Francis Mauigoa has declared for the NFL Draft, and it seems very likely that Markel Bell will do the same. Besides, the ‘Canes seem very willing to shell out significant NIL money in this window. They did offer $6 million to Ty Simpson to join them.
#2 Texas Longhorns
The Longhorns need to revamp their offensive line if they want to dominate the SEC going forward. Especially early in the season, the offensive line looked poor in pass protection and run blocking. They have the need, and they are potentially one of a handful of programs that could put together a $4-6 million NIL offer. They are one of the frontrunners here.
#1 Oregon Ducks
According to recent reports, the Ducks of Dan Lanning are the frontrunners for Jordan Seaton. With the departure of Alex Harkey and Isaiah World, they’re looking for a tackle, and they have already brought in Dylan Raiola to replace Dante Moore at quarterback. The Ducks were also in the mix to get Seaton back in 2023.
