According to On3\u2019s Pete Nakos<\/a>, Jordan Seaton<\/a> is currently in Starkville to visit Mississippi State<\/a>. Seaton is close with the Bulldogs\u2019 offensive line coach, Phil Loadholt<\/a>, from their time at Colorado. A huge development for head coach Jeff Lebby<\/a>, hoping to get in the running for one of the best players in the NCAA transfer portal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Loadholt only spent one season in Boulder. Colorado hired him away from Oklahoma<\/a>, where he was an offensive analyst on Brent Venables<\/a>\u2018 initial staff. Lebby was the offensive coordinator at the time, making the connection between the two. So when Lebby needed an OL coach at Mississippi State, Loadholt wound up being his guy. Now, the coaching duo is hoping the connection can pay dividends in Seaton\u2019s recruitment.<\/p>\n

Mississippi State showed a ton of improvement under Lebby in 2025. They got on the board with an SEC win by beating Arkansas<\/a> following an 0-8 campaign last season. And despite an overall record of 5-7, the Bulldogs earned a spot in a bowl game due to others turning down invites. Everyone in the program will be hoping to see similar growth moving forward.<\/p>\n

As for Seaton, the competition for his signature is going to be tough. Nakos recently provided the latest<\/a> on where things stand for the offensive tackle. At least one more trip inside the SEC is expected<\/a> to take place, heading to the 40 Acres to see the Texas Longhorns<\/a>.<\/p>\n

More on Jordan Seaton, time with Colorado Buffaloes<\/p>\n

The\u00a0On3 Industry Transfer Portal Rankings<\/a>\u00a0have Seaton as a four-star prospect and No. 4 overall player to enter this cycle. No offensive tackle ranks above him, showing how highly thought of he is. Seaton is also the No. 1 player currently available in the portal.<\/p>\n

Colorado got Seaton on campus ahead of the 2024 season, being a massive recruiting win for head coach\u00a0Deion Sanders<\/a>. He immediately slotted into the left tackle role, initially protecting quarterback\u00a0Shedeur Sanders<\/a>. Some positives came from Seaton\u2019s true freshman campaign before really exploding in 2025. Quality performances earned him second-team All-Big 12.<\/p>\n

Seaton played high school football at Bradenton (FL)\u00a0IMG Academy<\/a>, where he was a\u00a0Five-Star Plus+<\/a>\u00a0prospect. He was the No. 18 overall recruit in the\u00a02024 cycle<\/a>, according to the\u00a0Rivals Industry Ranking<\/a>, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.<\/p>\n
