LSU currently holds the No. 1 Transfer Portal Class in America headlined by quarterback Sam Leavitt, wide receiver Jayce Brown, and safety Ty Benefield, among several others.
Now, there is a full-court press in pursuit of Seaton to join the class as the cherry on top to a historic haul in Baton Rouge.
The 6-foot-5, 330-pounder arrived in Boulder as a true freshman in 2024 with Deion Sanders and the Buffaloes immediately tossing him in the mix where he started all 13 games in year one - earning Freshman All-America honors across his first season with the program.
The coveted prospect was the highest-graded true freshman offensive tackle in pass protection with at least 100 snaps, according to Pro Football Focus - as he emerged as one of the top players in the Big 12 as a youngster.
He didn’t allow a sack in 11 of his first 13 games where Seaton then carried momentum into his sophomore campaign where he boasted a 91.4 grade through the first month of the season, per PFF.
Now, LSU appears to be building momentum in the Seaton sweepstakes down the stretch amid Oregon and Miami's pursuit.
