NEWS: Colorado Buffaloes Sign Top Offensive Lineman for 2024 Class

Only five players were signed by the Colorado Buffaloes during the early signing period for the class of 2024, suggesting that they had a difficult time of it. Jordan Seaton verbally committed but never signed, leaving them in line to acquire the finest offensive lineman in the class. Rumors circulated that he would back out of his commitment.

But on Friday night, Jordan Seaton signed a formal contract with the Colorado Buffaloes. Given that the IMG Academy product will be defending QB Shedeur Sanders going forward, this is undoubtedly going to be a big story.

The Colorado Buffaloes’ greatest vulnerability in 2023 was Shedeur Sanders, who was struck frequently. Sanders suffered a back fracture at the end of the season as a result of the Buffs’ 52 total sacks and unrelenting pressure throughout the season. It will be a huge boost for the squad coming into the Big 12 Conference to add the best offensive lineman in the high school class.

Jordan Seaton declared during his appearance on The Rich Eisen Show that he is prepared to assist in turning Boulder into a major player.

I was not interested in going anywhere and becoming simply another guy. My goal was to create history by beginning at the bottom.

With Jordan Seaton, how much better can the Colorado Buffaloes be?

Although they started the season 3-0, the Colorado Buffaloes proved they could be a formidable club by finishing with a 4-6 overall record. Even if Jordan Seaton isn’t the only elite player joining the Buffs, they will be a stronger team moving into the Big 12 Conference.

Coach Deion Sanders has been with the program for two seasons, and as he acquires more players, he should continue to grow better. Recall that Colorado now enjoys a complete summer with its fellow transfer players, setting a record for the NCAA.

The club will benefit greatly from Seaton’s offensive linemanship, which will strengthen the program’s weakest area. The Colorado Buffaloes should now be in the running for a bowl game since they have skill position players, but if they can improve defensively, they may be considered a dark horse for the Big 12 Championship.

Better offensive linemen put the defense in fewer vulnerable positions while the offense extends drives and remains on the field. Boulder is expected to attract more elite players, with Coach Prime at the forefront.
