The Colorado Buffaloes will be represented in multiple high school All-Star games this month. 

IMG Academy five-star offensive tackle Jordan Seaton made headlines last month when he officially signed to play for Deion Sanders and the Buffs. This week, Seaton and fellow blue-chip recruit Drelon Miller be featured in their respective contests. 

A 6-foot-5, 285-pound offensive tackle out Bradenton, Fla., Seaton is listed as the third-best recruit in CU history, according to 247Sports. He's behind a pair of running backs-- Darrell Scott (Class of 2008) and Marcus Houston (Class of 2000).

Deion Sanders has words of wisdom heading into 2024

Seaton has been in Orlando since Thursday preparing for the Under Armour Next All-America Game. The nation's top-ranked offensive lineman has already made a big impression in practice. He held his own against 247Sports’ No. 1 ranked defensive lineman Williams Nwaneri (Missouri signee) and others during 1-on-1 drills.

Seaton, who will be wearing No. 77, will be one of five captains for Team Ice as they take the field against Team Fire on Wednesday. Fellow Colorado signee Brandon Davis-Swain, a four-star defensive lineman out of West Broomfield, Mich., was also expected to play for Team Ice, but will not be attending due to a nagging elbow injury.

The UA Next All-America game will be played Wednesday, January 3 at Orlando’s Camping World Stadium. Coverage begins at 4 p.m. ET on ESPN.

Drelon Miller, a four-star Buffaloes signee out of Silsbee, Tex., has made his way to San Antonio for this week’s All-American Bowl.

The 6-foot-1, 195-pound wide receiver finished his career at Silsbee H.S. with 155 receptions for 3,571 yards and 43 touchdowns. Miller will be wearing No. 3 for the West squad in Saturday’s game. Micah Welch, a three-star running back who signed with the Buffs was also selected to play in the All-American Bowl. However, like Davis-Swain, Welch will have to sit out due to an injury.

The 23rd edition of the All-American Bowl will be played on Saturday, January 6 at the Alamodome. Game time is set for 1 p.m. ET and can be seen on NBC.

Seaton and Miller are also committed to play in the 2024 Polynesian Bowl in Honolulu, Hawaii on Friday, January 19. Coverage of that game begins at 9 p.m. ET on NFL Network.
