Mississippi State Hosts Elite Transfer Tackle Jordan Seaton for Visit
There’s a buzz building in Starkville, and it’s got everything to do with the trenches. Mississippi State is reportedly hosting one of the biggest names in the transfer portal - literally and figuratively - as offensive tackle Jordan Seaton makes a visit to campus.
Seaton, a 6-foot-5, 330-pound lineman out of Colorado, isn’t just another name in the portal. He’s the top-ranked offensive tackle available and sits at No. 4 overall in 247Sports’ transfer portal rankings - trailing only a trio of quarterbacks. That’s rarefied air for a lineman, and it speaks volumes about the kind of impact he’s already had at the college level.
Mississippi State has a built-in connection here. Bulldogs offensive line coach Phil Loadholt spent time at Colorado in 2024, which means there's already a relationship in place. That familiarity could be crucial as Seaton weighs his next move.
And make no mistake - Seaton is a game-changer. As a true freshman at Colorado, he stepped into the starting lineup and never looked back, starting all 13 games in 2024 and earning All-Big 12 honorable mention honors.
He followed that up with a strong sophomore campaign, starting the first nine games before an injury sidelined him. Even with the shortened season, his dominance was undeniable: just one sack allowed all year and a spot on the All-Big 12 second team.
Seaton’s pedigree is just as impressive as his production. He was the No. 1 offensive tackle in the 2024 recruiting class, per the 247Sports Composite, and came out of powerhouse IMG Academy in Florida. Originally from Washington D.C., Seaton has long been on the radar of top programs, and now he’s one of the most coveted players in the portal.
For Mississippi State, landing a player like Seaton would be a massive win - literally anchoring the offensive line with a proven, high-upside talent who’s already shown he can hang with the best. The Bulldogs are clearly swinging big here. And if the visit goes well, they might just land one of the most impactful transfers in the country.
