Look Who's Transferring Now (The Portal)

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.
Oregon would've been a safe bet as well

Thats hilarious, because he doesnt play for my team.
$4-6M for Ty Simpson. My god, teams are throwing stupid money around.

Eventually some of this has to reign in when boosters realize the ROI. But who knows? Maybe money is just made up and unlimited to some folks.


This Uber rich folks just want to show off to one another. Its all about bragging rights and who can get what guy. And even getting a chance at the CFP is bragging in a way for teams like Miami, IU, Texas Tech, SMU, etc. You don't think the boosters for Tech and SMU aren't rubbing this in the face of UT boosters who theyre around? Im sure IU boosters are puffing their chests out when they see scUM, Ped St or OSU alum. Thats their ROI

Probably true. Not to be too altruistic but I would prefer the ultra wealthy bragging about helping beat cancer and Alzheimer’s.

The uber rich and tax write offs are a helluva combo. I'm not up to date on the accounting end, but I believe any of the NIL collectives that are 501c3s do have tax deductible contribution benefits.

Always remember that the NCAA came into being due to two things: T. Roosevelt threatened to shut it down if schools didn't prove they could control the game. 2. The schools realized they couldn't agree on rules. Thus, the NCAA was created to establish and enforce rules for the schools. SCOTUS and the schools (thanks, Michigan) castrated the NCAA and now find they need an agency to do what the NCAA did for 119 years.
