Jordan Seaton put on his recruiting hat Wednesday evening in hopes of adding his cousin to the Colorado Buffaloes' offensive line.

Upon learning that now-former Ohio State offensive lineman Jayvon McFadden would be entering the transfer portal, Seaton quote-tweeted the On3 report with the caption, "Yoo! U wanna play together?" McFadden is a former class of 2025 four-star prospect who appeared in one game this past season for the 12-2 Buckeyes.

Colorado previously offered McFadden in March 2024, but the 6-foot-4, 315-pound lineman ultimately committed to Ohio State that August. Now, the Buffs have another chance at landing Seaton's cousin via the transfer portal.

Coming out of Riverdale Baptist High School in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, McFadden was the No. 19 overall prospect in his home state and the No. 35 interior offensive lineman, according to 247Sports.

After redshirting this past season, McFadden has a full four years of eligibility to use at his next destination. Meanwhile, all signs point to Seaton wrapping up his college career after the 2026 season before declaring for the 2027 NFL Draft.

Despite Colorado's lack of team success this past season, Seaton appears locked in with the Buffs heading into what will likely be his final year at the college level. Another healthy and productive season could lead to Seaton being one of the highest-rated offensive tackles in the 2027 NFL Draft class.

"I plan to just keep the main thing the main thing," Seaton said last summer. "Just because we're gonna play a different team, we shouldn't change what we've been doing as far as workouts. It's making sure I'm doing everything I can so when I do say something, it's not like, 'Why are you saying that?' I'm making sure that I lead on the field so when I say something, it's coming from a place of love."
