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.
