5-star OT Jordan Seaton changes visit plans for this weekend
Five-star offensive tackle Jordan Seaton was set to take an official visit to Oklahoma this weekend, but the nation’s top uncommitted offensive lineman has had a change of plans.
Sources tell On3’s Josh Newberg that Seaton has canceled his visit with the Sooners and will instead take an unofficial visit to Tennessee this weekend. He also plans to take an official visit with the Volunteers later this fall, and at this time is unsure if he will reschedule the OU visit.
The 6-foot-5, 295-pounder has already taken an official visit to Alabama and is scheduled to take one to Florida next weekend. He also visited Colorado for the Buffaloes game against Colorado State earlier this month.
The Volunteers are one of several teams in the mix for On3’s No. 1 offensive tackle in the 2024 class, a list that also includes South Carolina, Ohio State, and more. He doesn’t have a decision date set but will likely take his recruitment to the Early Signing Period in December.
“For me, it is about relationships and development,” Seaton told On3’s Chad Simmons earlier this month. “I will rely on those a lot when it comes time to pick the best school. NIL will play a small part too, and player compensation is something I am looking at, but it is not what I will base my decision on. I need to have that relationship with the coach and the staff and feel good about the environment. That is what is most important.”
Seaton is the No. 32 overall prospect in the 2024 class, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
