Deion Sanders got another top recruit in the 2024 class. IMG Academy five-star offensive tackle Jordan Seaton announced he has committed to Colorado on Thursday, per On3's Hayes Fawcett.

The 6-foot-6, 300-pounder initially took CU off the list of his top four schools, but chose the Buffaloes over Ohio State, Florida, Oregon and Tennessee. Seaton took an official visit on November 4th and had a secondary visit in Boulder prior to that.

“I’m coming to not only block for the Heisman contender, I’m showing you that wherever you go the work must get put in regardless," Seaton said.

This is huge news for Sanders and the Buffs as he's currently the top offensive lineman in the nation. Seaton now headlines Colorado's 2024 class with three four stars-- Aaron Butler, Kam Mikell, Brandon Davis-Swain-- as the top athletes coming to Boulder.

Seaton is listed as the No. 16 player overall in next year's class. An All-American and Polynesian Bowl caliber talent that will be comfortable at tackle or guard on the offensive line. He's very athletic and has outstanding footwork with an NFL ready frame.

"Seaton Brings ferocious attitude to line of scrimmage," according to Brian Dohn. "Once engaged, drives his legs to push the defender back. Is difficult to disengage from for high school players. Athleticism shines when asked to pull. Uses proper footwork and gets into gaps quickly. Excellent body control and can target linebackers in space. Uses lower body strength well, including to correct within rep. Scrapes and gets to the second level."

The news of Seaton joining Coach Prime shot CU's class ranking to No. 53 overall, according to 247Sports. They now have a total of ten commits ahead of early Signing Day.
