From the moment he got to the Colorado campus in January of 2024, Jordan Seaton has been as good as advertised.
A five-star recruit coming out of high school, Seaton had a great freshman season for the Buffaloes in 2024, while displaying maturity on and off the field.
As the Buffs gear up for the 2025 season, Seaton appears to be taking a leadership role.
“I’ve got to step into the leader role,” he said during a recent video posted by Well Off Media. “I’m not too much of a talker, but I feel like if I lead by my example and how I carry myself day to day, other people will tag along and start taking on some of the things I do and the way I work.”
During Seaton’s first year, the Buffs were loaded with veteran leaders, including quarterback Shedeur Sanders, cornerback/receiver Travis Hunter, safeties Shilo Sanders and Cam’Ron Silmon-Craig and more.
That group is now preparing for the NFL Draft, with Shedeur and Hunter projected as top-five picks.
There are plenty of veteran players left at CU, including on the offensive line, yet Seaton is the top dog.
CU’s left tackle, Seaton was one of only two players — along with Shedeur — to start all 13 games on offense for the Buffs last season.
Seaton earned freshman All-American honors and was All-Big 12 honorable mention.
Now, with Shedeur, Shilo, Hunter and others moving on, Seaton is one of the top stars for the Buffs and aims to not only be a leader, but to take his game to another level.
“They left a good foundation here, so now all we’ve got to do is put our head down and just work,” he said. “My three-month goal right now is just to get my body fat down, trim, have a good core and just be calm in my kick set and strike and punch. I don’t think nobody can (mess) with me this year. That’s just how I feel. It is what it is.”

According to TexasFootball.com, UTSA has hired CU assistant running backs coach Tommie Robinson as its new running backs coach. Robinson, 61, spent this past season as CU’s director of quality control and he oversaw special teams. He was named last month as the Buffs’ assistant running backs coach. He has nearly four decades of coaching experience, including as a running backs coach at Texas A&M, LSU, USC, Texas and the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals in the past 15 years. … At the NFL combine this week in Indianapolis, four former Buffs are slated to be in attendance. Hunter will work out with defensive backs on Friday, while receivers Jimmy Horn Jr. and LaJohntay Wester, along with Shedeur, are slated for Saturday. Shedeur is not expected to throw at the combine.
