As the Colorado Buffaloes gear up for the 2025 campaign under Coach Prime, one former five-star recruit stands out as a potential breakout star. That player is Jordan Seaton, a 6’5″ offensive tackle once regarded as one of his class’s top offensive line prospects. However, the situation changed when he entered college football.
His 2024 freshman season at the Buffaloes was filled with challenges, despite his five-star status. However, in our prediction, Seaton is set to make a major leap in the upcoming season and will likely be named one of Colorado’s biggest breakout stars in 2025.
Why Jordan Seaton Could Be Colorado’s Biggest Star in 2025
Every year, new players step up and shine in college football. Some are true freshmen, while others are more experienced. What matters is who makes a big impact when it counts.
Usually, we don’t know these game-changers until the regular season is well underway. Still, analysts love making predictions, and fans enjoy debating who will rise to the challenge.
This year, Colorado OT Jordan Seaton is set to make a major leap. He could become one of the team’s biggest offensive stars in 2025. Several reasons make experts believe he will shine this season.
Seaton, a former five-star recruit, made history as the first true freshman to start at left tackle for Colorado. Despite some early challenges, he played more snaps (809) than anyone else on offense. He allowed only three sacks in 612 pass-blocking snaps and earned Freshman All-American honors from several outlets.
As we reported in our “1 Breakout Player for All 136 Teams in the 2025 College Football Season” story, “[Seaton] started every single Colorado game at left tackle as a true freshman. It’s rare to start as a freshman. It’s even rarer to do so on the offensive line. I think this season, we see Seaton get much more comfortable and emerge as one of the top tackles in the nation.”
His growth has also been impressive. He reportedly gained 40 pounds during the offseason, preparing him physically for the tough demands of his role. Many experts believe this additional strength will help him become one of college football’s best pass-blockers.
Additionally, with Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter now in the NFL, Seaton is emerging as a leader on Colorado’s offense. Losing those two stars leaves a big gap. Coach Prime will surely want to make the best use of Seaton in the process, so he has a major opportunity ahead of the season.
His ability to anchor the offensive line will be crucial as the Buffaloes transition.

Now, you can ask why we are so confident in his leadership ability. Seaton recently announced that he is hosting his own elite football camp in Washington, D.C., designed to help young athletes refine their skills and gain exposure.

This camp is not just an ordinary training event. He described it as a one-on-one, high-level football experience where players can put their name, family, and city on the map. It is worth mentioning that this is a crazy move, and only someone with strong leadership qualities would take such a step.
Altogether, there is no reason to doubt him ahead of the upcoming season. He’ll first be put to the test on August 29 when the “Buffs” take on Georgia Tech. Colorado also has tilts against Houston, BYU, TCU, Iowa State, Utah, Arizona, and Arizona State.
