Pros for Jordan Seaton

• Strong hands. Once Seaton grips a defender, he’s not moving.
• Elite athleticism for the position. Excellent mover in space, climbing to the second level smoothly and with bad intentions.
• Incredible anchor. Handles bull rushes easily and doesn’t get knocked back.
• Flashes great balance in pass protection

Cons for Jordan Seaton

• Overcommits a little too easily inside, allowing rushers to attack his outside shoulder
• Hand placement is a little inconsistent. Some improvement in that area will go a long way
• Can get his weight too far forward, especially in the run game, allowing edge rushers to push-pull him too easily

Background

Seaton was a five-star recruit in the 2024 recruiting class, and the top commit of the Colorado Buffaloes recruiting class. Re ranked as 247 Sports’ No. 13 overall recruit and No. 1 offensive tackle. He was an immediate starter for the Buffaloes, playing in 860 snaps as a true freshman and 561 while dealing with injuries as a sophomore. He transferred to the LSU Tigers this summer and will be their starting left tackle.

Player evaluation

You can tell that Seaton is a super athlete. He’s explosive coming off the ball, and moves with malicious intent. That athleticism is also evident in pass protection, flashing a nice kickstep to get in front of rushers bending the arc. Defenders also struggle to attack him with power, as Seaton has a plus anchor, being able to dig in and hold up strong at the point of attack. He pairs that with strong hands and excellent grip strength to hold defenders at the point of attack.

You can tell how the coaching at Colorado wasn’t great, as the offensive line splits they used weren’t exactly great. He was consistenly out of position, sometimes due to no fault of his own. He would consistently be veered inside, allowing edge rushers to attack his outside shoulder and get to the quarterback. Seaton also flashes great balance, but he can get his weight too far forward, especially in the run game. That needs some consistency improvements, but there is hope he will get there. Lastly, hand placement needs some work, as he misses too often with his initial punch.
