No. 1 Offensive Tackle In Transfer Portal Eyes Texas And Oregon​

Former Colorado Buffaloes offensive tackle Jordan Seaton is one of the highest-ranked players in the portal. As it could come down to a Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) bidding war, the Oregon Ducks and Texas Longhorns are teams to watch for Seaton.

Since their season ended, the Oregon Ducks have been active in the transfer portal. Oregon coach Dan Lanning and the Ducks have landed quarterback Dylan Raiola and safety Koi Perich, but they reportedly have their sights set on former Colorado Buffaloes offensive tackle Jordan Seaton.

Seaton holds a four-star rating and is the No. 4 player in the portal and No. 1 offensive tackle, according to On3. He has two years of eligibility remaining after playing two seasons with the Buffaloes. According to Pete Nakos of On3, the Oregon Ducks and Texas Longhorns are teams to watch for the elite tackle.

NIL Play A Role In Landing Jordan Seaton

As a top-five portal player and the highest-ranked offensive tackle, Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals will likely play a role in which team lands Seaton.

According to On3, landing an elite offensive tackle would cost a program between $500,000 and $1.2 million, and Nakos reported Seaton could command in the $2 million range. Both Texas and Oregon are building elite teams each season, and it could come down to which program offers a larger NIL package.

With the current landscape of college football and the growth of NIL, the Oregon Ducks have adapted to the changes. When looking to add players through the portal, the Ducks are no strangers to using lucrative NIL deals to bring in elite athletes.

Exactly. The market is just a free for all right now, there is a ton of questionable money being spent which is setting things insane highly.

Better money spent on a guy like Seaton who has at least shown he can play though than some relatively completely unproven player like Chaz Coleman.

If you’re referring to WVU, pops Alma mater(unless you were being sarcastic and already knew that, in that case, my bad)

• Signing Bonus: $12,714,396
• Average Annual Salary: $5,463,699

So far McCarthy has raked in $23,641,794 and played in only 10 games. That's $2,364,179.40 per game and his QB rating is 35.7.......

Miami has sent this open/weak side nickel pressure, SIM or 5th man. either c or b gap, all damn year.

The Ole Miss coaching staff had their answers & their players ready.

Not to beat a dead horse, but the lack of offensive preparation for the Miami game is only becoming more glaring watching things like this.

They could have shifted the line more, and maybe given Sayin another blocker in the backfield, but I rewatched a lot of the the game, and Sayin just flat out wouldn't throw the ball. Missed guys wide open. Like untouched for multiple TDs wide open. Its really hard to call offense and move the ball when your QB is just frozen. Its going to be interesting if he can shake off hits next year. Because this year he started to get that "Deer in the headlights" look, and sometimes guys can't shake that.

Obviously he has the talent, and the mind to win the heisman, I just hope we get tested more throughout the year next year, so he can work through more growing pains before its do or die.

That is an obit worth the read.

The fact that the last post about him before today was in 2023 says all you need to know. Best of luck to him, but OSU was never going to be a fit for him

Rooney thanked Tomlin for his "hard work, dedication and success" over the past 19 years. And said it was "hard for me to put into words the level of respect and appreciation I have for coach Tomlin."

Tomlin released his own statement, thanking Rooney and Steelers players, coaches and fans for their support during his near-two-decade tenure as Pittsburgh's coach.

"While this chapter comes to a close, my respect and love for the Pittsburgh Steelers will never change," Tomlin said. "I am excited for what the future holds for this franchise, and I will forever be grateful for my time coaching in Pittsburgh."

Just sayin': Tomlin leaves the Steelers same way he coached them for 19 seasons, i.e. classy. Also, the Steelers probably have the best ownership in the NFL too.
