Report: Colorado transfer OT Jordan Seaton visiting Mississippi State

According to ESPN’s Pete Thamel, Jordan Seaton is currently in Starkville to visit Mississippi State. Seaton is close with the Bulldogs’ offensive line coach, Phil Loadholt, from their time at Colorado. A huge development for head coach Jeff Lebby, hoping to get in the running for one of the best players in the NCAA transfer portal.

“Sources: Colorado transfer offensive tackle Jordan Seaton is on a visit to Mississippi State,” Thamel said via X. “The Bulldogs’ offensive line coach is Phil Loadholt, who was Seaton’s first offensive line coach at Colorado.”

Loadholt only spent one season in Boulder. Colorado hired him away from Oklahoma, where he was an offensive analyst on Brent Venables’ initial staff. Lebby was the offensive coordinator at the time, making the connection between the two. So when Lebby needed an OL coach at Mississippi State, Loadholt wound up being his guy.

The On3 Industry Transfer Portal Rankings have Seaton as a four-star prospect and No. 4 overall player to enter this cycle. No offensive tackle ranks above him, showing how highly thought of he is. Seaton is also the No. 1 player currently available in the portal.

Colorado got Seaton on campus ahead of the 2024 season, being a massive recruiting win for head coach Deion Sanders. He immediately slotted into the left tackle role, initially protecting quarterback Shedeur Sanders. Some positives came from Seaton’s true freshman campaign before really exploding in 2025. Quality performances earned him second-team All-Big 12.

Seaton played high school football at Bradenton (FL) IMG Academy, where he was a Five-Star Plus+ prospect. He was the No. 18 overall recruit in the 2024 cycle, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
