Colorado Transfer Jordan Seaton Lines Up Visit To College Football Playoff School

In this story:
Now officially in the transfer portal, former Colorado Buffaloes left tackle Jordan Seaton will soon visit Eugene to check out the Oregon Ducks.
ESPN's Pete Thamel reported Sunday that Seaton is scheduled to be in Oregon on Monday, exactly one week after news broke that he would be entering the transfer portal. Seaton spent his first two college seasons at Colorado and caught many off guard with his decision to leave Boulder.

Regardless, all signs point to Seaton striking a deal with a top Power Four program. Oregon will mark the second College Football Playoff team that Seaton has visited, joining the national championship game-bound Miami Hurricanes.
Only nine days ago, Oregon's season came to a close in the College Football Playoff semifinals via a 56-22 loss to Indiana. The future remains bright in Eugene, however, as quarterback Dante Moore announced his decision to remain at Oregon for the 2026 season.
Seaton seemingly hinted at his interest in playing alongside Moore in a social media post last week.

Other Teams Interested In Jordan Seaton

According to On3's Pete Nakos, the Texas Longhorns have also emerged as a team to watch in the Seaton sweepstakes. Texas fell short of expectations in 2025, but should remain strong in 2026 with quarterback Arch Manning set to return.
Seaton, a former five-star prospect from Maryland, is currently checking out the LSU Tigers in Baton Rouge and also took a visit to Mississippi State. After coaching Seaton as a freshman in 2024, former Colorado offensive line coach Phil Loadholt now holds the same role with the Bulldogs.

During his final season in Boulder, Seaton missed Colorado's final three games due to injury but still earned second-team All-Big 12 honors.
"As I reflect on my time at Colorado, it's hard to put into words what this chapter has truly meant to me," Seaton wrote on Instagram. "I never imagined this journey would come to a close in this way, but I am deeply grateful for every moment that led me here."
