Like head coach Deion Sanders, his players in the Colorado Buffaloes have spiked their talent for giving pep talks. Earlier, Shedeur Sanders requested the Alabama Crimson Tide players join the Buffaloes after Nick Saban’s retirement. Now, it is time for the Buffs’ offensive line prodigy, Jordan Seaton, to excel at using words to poach players. 

Even though the confirmed dates of the second window are yet to be declared, it will likely happen between April 15 and April 30 in the spring. Seaton knows how to hit the right spot very well and excite the young talents, alluring them to join Coach Prime’s squad.

Five-star offensive tackle Seaton went big with his words at Spring Ball Media Day, which took place on April 1 in the Champions Center. At present, he attempts to spark the interest of the other high school talents. Adding a touch of Coach Prime’s passion, Seaton stated, “You claim you’re a dog, why are you not coming to Colorado?”

His impassioned plea mirrors the culture of tenacity and determination that Coach Prime at Colorado fosters. By seeking the attention of the prospective high school recruits, he wants them to embrace the “dog” mentality. The need for a relentless pursuit of greatness characterizes this both on and off the field that Deion Sanders abides by. Meanwhile, this message may impact the high school recruits, considering how Seaton has evolved as an icon and his journey to Colorado.

Seaton has gained the acclamation of “a generational type of player” from his teammate and Buffaloes senior quarterback, Shedeur. The offensive tackle has thoroughly convinced him, “Jordan has definitely shown me that he is ready.” However, in this case, respect goes both ways. Interestingly, the 6-foot-5, 285-pound player turned down a multimillion-dollar offer handed by Tennessee only to be under the tutelage of Deion Sanders and to join the Buffaloes.

Expectations are high for the five-star recruit from Washington. With all the hype, the true freshman out of IMG Academy is focused on his goal and strongly believes in hard work. Seaton focuses on the moment as he claims, “Right now, I’m just trying to make it through spring ball. In the long run, ultimately, my goal will be reached.”
