The Oregon Ducks are in the running for five-star transfer, offensive tackle Jordan Seaton. The front runners to land the former Colorado Buffaloes star appear to be Oregon and the LSU Tigers. Seaton has had in-home visits with each per Pete Nakos of On3.

With a decision expected to come soon, fans should be on high alert. Not just for the official news, but also fake insider accounts that can pose as real account. Former Oregon Ducks and NFL All-Pro defensive back T.J. Ward was one of those who got fooled by a fake account on social media.

There was a viral post on X going around on Thursday morning. The account name was “No3 Sports,” which almost mirrors the reliable “On3 Sports.” The goal of these parody accounts is to mess around and gain traction for false information. Whoever is behind that account did exactly that. It is pretty funny, but a tough scene for a fan thinking their team got a big transfer portal addition. 

"No3" posted a picture an edit of Seaton in an Oregon jersey and captioned it saying “Colorado OT Jordan Seaton has committed to Oregon, he tells Pete Nakos.”

It looks pretty legitimate at a glance and got T.J. Ward pretty good. Ward replied to this post saying “Yessir!!! Y’all gone keep seeing us whether you like it or not.”

It can be easy to get duped by these accounts by scrolling on a phone, seeing a realistic looking graphic, source name, profile picture, and a blue checkmark. Going forward, fans are going to have to really look carefully at usernames and sources. 

Seaton is reportedly still deciding between LSU, Oregon, and Miami as of Friday.
