Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy offensive tackle Jordan Seaton was slated to be in Oklahoma this weekend, but those visit plans have changed, according to On3’s Josh Newberg. Seaton will now visit Tennessee instead.

“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,” a report from the On3 National News Desk stated. “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.”

Tennessee has been working for some time to get Seaton to campus, and he told Volquest in August, the Vols have remained consistent in his recruitment and that has made them stand out.

“I would say their consistency and commitment to me and trying to get me as a player plays a big part of my recruitment,” Seaton said at the time. “I definitely want to go down to Tennessee and see what it is like.”

At the time, Seaton said the message from Tennessee had been very clear. He is a top priority for them.

“Their message has been that I am a priority,” he said following IMG Academy’s win over Lipscomb Academy (Tenn.). “I can come in, and not going to tell me I will start, but if I do what I can do and keep learning the game, I can help change some things around for them.

Seaton is viewed as an elite offensive tackle across the board. He rates as On3’s top offensive tackle in the 2024 class and the No.7 overall player.

Jordan Seaton’s On3 Scouting Summary

“Polished offensive tackle who is one of the more battle-tested prospects at the position in the 2024 cycle. Measured at over 6-foot-5, 295 pounds prior to his senior season. Has a big frame and plus length for the position with arm length over 34 inches and a verified 10.75-inch hand. Dropped considerable weight as a junior after previously weighing over 330 pounds. Technically sound and well-rounded from a skill perspective. Looks ahead of the curve in pass protection. Flashes good reactive quickness. Understands pass rush plans and works to neutralize rushers. Uses his redirect skills to mirror and quick, strong hands to neutralize at the point of attack. Drops his weight and anchors on contact. Also show some physicality and nastiness as a run blocker. Looks to move much better as a junior with the weight loss. Lined up at left tackle for St. John’s College and faced top competition on a weekly basis. Transferred to IMG Academy for his senior season. Does not have positive athletic markers other than film. Can also continue to improve his ankle flexion. Overall polish and experience against top competition makes him one of the more ready to play offensive linemen in the cycle.”
